New Googletoy!
Last night, I was looking in Google Maps to see where something was in Newark. I noticed a new button at the top: "Street View New!". So I clicked it.
Holy crap.
It seems to only exist in five cities. Click on one of the little camera icons for a link to zoom in for more detailed instructions. Once you have the image, you can move along the street (and change at intersections) by using the arrows, or click and drag elsewhere to pan.
My officemate and I have already used it to located the proposed THE Tunnel terminal on 34th St, Manhattan, by matching Google's street-level shot with the one in their artist's rendering.
I want a Google camera thingy on my car so I can get paid to drive around.
