Google Street View


Google Street Viewis a feature in Google Map that allows users to explore streets around the world in a 360-degree panoramic view. It was first launched in the United States on May 25th, 2007. Now it is developing at a rapid rate in different countries around the world. This technology lets people check out travel sites, restuarants, neighborhoods from different angles, in a multi-dimentional view. The images in Google Street View are captured by cars specially adapted with cameras and antennas, also by tricycles and snowmobiles at places where cars cannot easily access.
