How Freakin' Cool Is This?

Google Street View has the view of River City and it so cool it is frozen.

Haduken spotted the Google Street View geeks rolling around town last summer and now reports the Google Street view map is operational.

It is a feature of Google Maps, which already has satellite photos, traffic info, terrain maps, etc.

Street View lets you take a virtual walk (in a couple dozen cities), explore landmarks, and find businesses.

You should take this 90 second tutorial. They point out how to use it and that you can even zoom in on street signs to see parking regulations or other cool spots and can send links of what you find to your friends.

As if we needed another distraction on the Net to keep us entertained at work. This one is great for revisitng places you've been or check out places you want to go.

Google Street View Richmond.
