Has anybody used this yet? Pretty amazing stuff when it is available for the location you are looking at on the map.
Just go to Google maps and then select street view, any area that has blue outlines will have street view available. If you click on the blue areas it will bring you right to the street view of that area, or you can pick up the little person icon and drag it where ever you want as long as there are blue lines. You can also click on the arrows on the street grid in the street view mode and actually travel up or down the road or area you are in.
First thing I went and did after learning about this was to see if my house was on there or not, sure enough there it was. I also was checking out some of the race tracks around the country, some you can't get really close but some you can pull right up to the grandstand entrance.
Overal a pretty cool thing if you ask me.
