Boston Now On Google Street View
Know Evil January 18th. 2008, 3:24pmI was checking out an address with a friend on Google maps yesterday and we noticed that Street View had been added to Boston.
I never really played with street view before because I wasn’t traveling to any of the supported locations, so I never really felt a connection to the information. Now that it’s in my own backyard though, I can make connections to familiar objects such as a friend’s car or even that friend (double edged sword)! The interface is very intuitive and smooth as one would expect from google. You’re given a little man that you can drag and drop. This man has a bubble that shows the picture. You can click and hold the picture to free rotate.
Google’s gotta pretty nice spread right now. They’ve undoubtedly covered some ground both literally and figuratively.
P.S. Before submitting any important form on the internet, it’s a wise idea to hit ctrl+a, then ctrl+c. That way you don’t have to write a whole post over when your browser craps out.
