Google Street View Adds Four Cities

Michael Arrington

16 comments »

Google continues to add cities to its Street View maps product that launched earlier this year. You can now view and stroll through high quality photos of most of the downtown areas of San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston and Orlando. Nine cities are now covered - click on the camera icons to dive into the city and see it.

Microsoft is working on competing products, but they are not as elegant or easy to use. See our coverage of Street Side and Virtual Earth 3D.

    It will be interesting to watch as this expands to cover most of the USA

    imagine seeing details of portions of the Grand Canyon, or the landmarks of old Hollywood, or the beaches of Hawaii

    No love for Chicago?

    Also, would it be possible to make the little golden man have legs stretched out like he’s walking. Right now they float behind him like he’s “haunting” down the street.

    I originally thought this a kind of interesting toy — and maybe it really is — but I recently went to San Francisco and I was amazed at how much this helped me recognize the neightborhood I stayed in — before I got there! That was useful and I welcome this, I just hope that they can keep it reasonably up to date.

    Hey, the San Diego photo Arrington used is three blocks away from my home. I’m the coolest.

    Can’t wait for this to come to my part of the world! But I think this is very good and will take some time to cover many cities.
