Google's Street View comes to town

Street View is a relatively new feature for Google Maps and Google Earth. But until recently, it was not available here in the Fort Myers area. Now it is! If you don't know what Street View is, it provides 360° panoramic street-level views and allows the user to view parts of selected cities and their surrounding metropolitan areas at ground level. It's makes using Google Maps a virtual trip.

Street View has lots of practical functions to it as in I recently used it in preparing for a trip to Indianapolis. But it can also be a lot of fun - I was able to spot my car and a couple of old houses I lived in at one time.

Here's a cheesy video to give you more info on Street View and how to get started.

What are you waiting for? Go see if you can find your house, car or maybe even face on Google Street View!
