I was reading on www.techcrunch.com how Google had just introduced a new feature on its maps service. The new feature allows you to zoom in onto a street and navigate as if you were there, driving a car. The service is similar to Microsoft's Live Earth service.
The address is http://maps.google.com, and then you click on the Street View button. You will need Flash Player 9 for this. Have fun 
I also noticed on the driving directions you can add up-to 10 additional stops . That is an awesome feature. Mapquest is still in beta for that fature.
En,that is great new feature,especially for the visitors to a strange city.
One of my teachers showed this to me last week. Its a cool new feature. What I would really like in the next few years is that you write 2 addresses and it shows you moving along from one address to the other. That would be very cool.
It is cool... Microsoft also have a similar feature with its maps program

The street view is really amazing but it is just limited to several cities in US.
In fact, some of the news claim that this might lead to the privacy problem...
but anyway, Google is really turning the world upside down 
It is amazing feature but I hope it will cover other parts of the world .
I used google earth and found it very useful too , I can see my house with google earth .
Thank you for the new link
yeah the street view thing might be a concern for privacy, because you can zoom in and see license plate numbers lol.
