Google Makes Maps Entertaining

posted by: John Vincent Hilario

First introduced May 29th 2007, Google presents their latest map feature: “Street View“. In addition to the detail the people at Google present in their maps, users can now use a feature impossible in any two-dimensional map. Google’s “Street View” flying_man.png allows users to “tour ‘streetscapes’ and see 360̊ images; view street level photographs; take virtual walks; pan, rotate and zoom; and find shops, restaurants, parks, hotels and more”.

City subway maps include: New York, New York; Paris, France; Los Angeles, California, and many more.
