[GeoStL] Re: NGR-Google maps and google Earth

Rich,

The 3D imaging has been around for a while.  Another
feature is Street View.  Certain areas (Miami,
Chicago, San Diego and others) contain a street view. 
In street view you can view street level photographs
(select cities), take virtual walks; pan, rotate and
zoom, explore cityscapes, landmarks, oints 
of interest.  Check it out, it is pretty good.

Check out this site for some sightings during street
view.
