Google street view: 360 degree views from any point on the map.

Check it out: Google's new street view feature, announced yesterday, currently covers the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Las Vegas, Denver and Miami but will be expanded in the future. You simply click on the "Street View" button while looking at a close-up street map of an included area, and position your little character where you want to see the view from.

Google seem to have deployed a car with a 360 degree camera to take shots every ten metres or so up and down every street in these cities. As you look around in the picture, you can "walk" to the next photo point. It even tells you the rough address where you're standing. Virtual tourism... Paris and Prague next please guys!
