Peg man will help you; he lives on the size slider on the left hand side. Click on him and drag him where you want to go, he will turn yellow if the street viewer is available, it should be on all the roads outlined in blue.
Or you can add more details of the start journey and the end destination and peg man will get you there.
Thumbnails appear as you hover by, zoom in by double clicking on the map or use the 360-degree tool. Use the camera icon to view where you are going as you go. Walk down the roads your new friends have walked down, its great fun.
Visit historical landmarks and places that are famous! That you would other wise only be able to see in a flat dimension, now you can see it all the way round!
Go to Athens or Australia and see the Sydney opera house. Go and see where Aunt Nellie is going to be moving to.

It is a great facility. I have seen my own house and even the garden in relative detail, then I can swing over to Japan and see my son’s house. It’s amazing. A good post.
