Google goes door to door

Google has out done themselves again. This time, they have taken maps to the next level. Has anyone you know tried to give you directions? Does this sound familiar, “you gotta pass that gas station, turn left at the green building and you’ll see my house?” Well, looks like Google is here to help.

They now have the Street View option. Not only will you find the address, but there’s a 360 degrees virtual view of the surrounding. It’s not in every location, yet. They actually drove down each street to get these images captured for users’ convenience. You’ll be able to understand when your friend is giving you directions without street names. Check it out yourself at Google Maps, or check out their tutorial here.
