Google gets a view from the streets
Google Maps has added Austin to the list of cities for which it features “Street View”, photographic representations of map locations. Just enter an address in greater Austin, then click Street View on the resulting pop-up arrow to view a panoramic photo of the location. You can also do the nifty pan-and-scan thing by dragging your mouse pointer around the photo, or just click and drag the little yellow man on the map to see the view of another locale.
Just one example: here’s the intersection of Sixth and San Jacinto
