Google Maps recently added a feature called Street View. It has been talked about in the press, online, TV news, your cat probably told you all about Street View. Streets for which Street View images are available show up with blue outlines where you can see a 360-degree ground level view of that place on the map. This Google guy will explain.

What is fun is zooming in to see things you may have not noticed before while walking/driving downtown San Jose. Check here for a few things discovered by people viewing Street View across the country where the feature is available.

Microsoft’s Live Search maps has some excellent 2D views. I do not know about the quality of their 3D views, as I do not have Windows XP/Vista (a system requirement).
