Google Maps Street View Now Features Our Fair City

June 11, 2008

“Google Maps”:http://maps.google.com Street View, if you’ve not played with it, provides a street-level view of a given address or intersection — they get this information by literally driving a truck with a 360° camera down every street in the city.

This is an amazing blogging resource of which we’ll be making a lot of use here. I was able to find my apartment and my car very clearly — it was apparently an alternate side parking day. :) Below is a shot of Market and Broad Street.

Clearly, Parnell and Samburg had it right: “Google Maps is the best! / True that, double true.”:http://www.hulu.com/watch/1397/saturday-night-live-snl-digital-short-lazy-sunday.
