Calling all computer geeks of the locker room. I learned about a really cool new feature from Google Maps today and I thought you guys would like to know about it. It is only in about 26 cities so far but they have added a new feature called "Street View". When you go to a Google Map in a city they have imaged then you can click on a street and select and view the street in 3D. It is way cool. They recently mapped Raleigh, NC and the images are really sharp. Only the street with blue edges in Street view have been mapped and can be viewed. These Goggle guys keep coming up with some really cool stuff. Microsoft should be afraid.  http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Check it out and enjoy,

Tim

I can see how that could hinder your business a little . This kind of freaks me out a bit ; its like the big brother's watching you thing ya know . Now any body with an address and map quest can not only get step by step directions to your house . Now they can SEE their target , print a pic and and dir. to said target .    Dont look now , but  EVERYBODYS  watching you .                            Nick

Thanks.  I used to work at 6th & Arch Sts in Philly, so I took a look at Chestnut St near Independence Mall.  Of course, Independence Hall hasn't changed, but I haven't been back since they moved the Liberty Bell and put in the new Constitution Center.  Now, I'll be able to view the area in vitual reality.  It's an area I used to walk all of the time in nice weather. Wow!  Thanks again.
