"Google Maps, Street View" is the coolest thing ever.

[Superman]

I've been playing around with Google Maps for the past few days and that "Street View" thing they have with it is so cool. I've been able to go to Dayton, Ohio{ My old home town} and move around like I'm driving through the streets of my old neighborhood.

It's like going home without all the driving and spending money. I love it!! I've seen places I haven't seen in 20 years.

Anyone know how they get that 360 view? What kind of camera is it?

 

[Ronny Shade]

top 3 maybe.

Yeah, I was playing with it not long ago, and it was cool seeing my friend's car in his driveway

It's kinda creepy, but oh so cool.

So they put cameras on the tops of a bunch of cars? Hmm. I have to agree this is amazing if you really think about it.

 

[Addendum]

It is, but it's pretty annoying that they consider Memphis, TN (the largest city in the state of Tennessee) "too out of the way"
