Has anyone used this? It is on Google Maps, and if you click on a street, you can see a photo view of that location.

It is really cool.

Cool. Only big cities, unfortunately, but still really cool.

i use google 4.3 and i love this feature, i was able to see my grandmother's new house (finally) without going down to tennessee and seeing it in person.

i did about 4 weeks ago see a white van pass by with a video camera (i think was a vid cam) mounted on a bracket hanging out the passenger side door and it drove by slowly down the middle of the street, maybe what i seen was a google streetview truck???

Creepy, but awesome.

I get amused with things like this. I'd be able to fiddle around with this for hours straight.

today found out what the white truck was all about, this afternoon i had went on google earth to discover multiple blue squares (panaramio) and clciked on them, seem about every house on the street, so yea, now they are taking pictures of every house on the street and uploading its currant image to google earth on the KML layor.

my dad was like "what?? now everyone knows were we live and look, already has been viewed 17 comes" I was like least it's not taking you to a name and address of the house number like google earth truck does, and I told him its like same thing as anyone would see if they were jus taking a random drive, accept they can now see the houses in better view on their computers

(yea hes sorta paranoid, I would see the point if they included the name of person there and house number.)
