Google Maps – now with Street View

The new Street View feature for Google Maps looks great. Although it’s only available in a couple US cities ( five of them to be more precise) the Street View amazes us by the level of detail you get. Entire streets are mapped completely, and not just main boulevards but small streets too, from busy highways to silent streets Google covers it all. You can even navigate the mapped roads using the provided arrows and the N-S guiding line.

This combined with the Traffic tool in Google Maps makes a great city orientation guide, also the Find Businesses and Get directions features come in handy when you feel disoriented in the big city. We can only wait for Google to cover larger areas (outside the US) and to bring new and more astounding features (which it will most certainly do).
