Google Maps - Street view

A couple of days ago a friend of mine showed me Google Maps. It's a component of the Google website and has some pretty cool tools. The best tool on the site is a button called Street view. When you are looking at a map you can click on street view, then on a street and it will place you at the location you clicked on with a 360 degree view from where you are standing. Here is a screenshot from Provo, Utah.

Street view is available for most cities, including New York, Dallas, Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. If you want to take a look the link is here. Once you click on the link, make sure to click Street view in the top right corner. The streets that have street view available will be highlighted in blue. Have fun!
