Google Maps Hits the Streets
It's nice of Google Maps to release a preview of the new Street View before it's operational, as we need the time to prepare our minds for being blown. An anything-but-pedestrian pedestrian view of select cities, the Street View feature not only shows you street-level photos of your destination -- but allows you to shift the perspective for a 360 look around. It might freak out more paranoid folk, but for the rest of us it's a brave new world of metropolitan navigation.
