Google releases Street View for Seattle!

This is a super cool feature new to Google Maps in the Seattle area. Google offered Street View for other cities and just added Seattle, D.C. and Baltimore to the list. As you look at a map, viewers have always been able to select from a street map, terrain map, satellite image or some combination of those. Now, when a map viewer clicks on "street view," an image box pops up that shows what it looks like to stand on the street in that particular location.

This is a very useful feature for home shoppers as they can see how certain properties look in a more realistic fashion than before. From what I've heard, Google sent vehicles around town with cameras attached and filming all the way. I haven't yet found a location that they didn't capture, which continues to amaze me. Have fun playing around with it.
