This is like nothing else in the world. Unbelievable. Here is a screen grab of where I used to live in San Francisco, as if you were walking on the street!
First, Green St.

Then on Dolores...

I could show you were I shopped, worked and did laundry. Really. I could. The Internet gets more amazing every day.

You're actually the first person who's told me that they like this- at least four other people have decried it as being rediculously intrusive and scarey.
I think its rad.
Can't wait for the google cars to come drive through Norfolk.
Oh, well, I mean, it really is scary as shit, but still pretty amazing-in a frightening like way. You can zoom in an see license plates on this feature. Imagine what schizophrenics the world over, would think if they saw this technology!
Have you ever seen a "Google car?"
(Oh and I was first alerted to this technology over at Click Opera if you're famillar with that...)
In the meantime I am eagerly awaiting the release of "Google Crime"- mapping crimes in live time.
I read that some lady was trying to sue Google because you could see her cat in the window of her house or something like that.
I think it's awesome---especially if you're looking up directions, you can see exactly what the building looks like. Or buying a house. You could virtually cruise around your potential new neighborhood.
Google maps works wonders for stalkers.
