[QUOTE="donna723, post: 399411, member: 1883"] The "Street View" first shows it from above like the older versions of Google Earth. It has the names of the streets and will show little pictures of a camera on the streets that are in the system. They don't always do all the side streets, rural areas, etc. You just click on the "camera" closest to where you want to look and it zooms in and shows it from the street view of that vantage point. It's a panoramic view where you can turn it around and see from all directions. You can go up or down the street just by clicking on a different "camera" a little further down. They actually have people in cars with panoramic cameras on the roof of the car and they drive up and down the streets taking pictures from all angles as they go. I have no idea how they put it all together but it's a lot of fun to play with. And by exploring around a little, you can get a very good idea about neighborhoods, what looks like a good area or a bad area and how it's kept up. [/QUOTE]
