Google Maps Gets Upgraded Street View

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponReddit

Google’s popular (and somewhat controversial) Street View has finally gotten a facelift of its very own.

The new Street View updates allow users to see the streets far easier thanks to a new window that fills the whole screen instead of a small portion. It’s also coupled with higher resolution pictures that give you the chance to zoom in closer than you ever could before (hooray for the prospect of new sightings!)

On top of that, new navigation makes things easier. Pan the view with the A and D keys, and look at your apartment, license plate, social security number and list of fears up and down with the W and S keys.

The kicker? It’s not working with the latest version of Google Chrome. I guess that’s something to pay attention to in the future, huh?

This was on digg for...epic fail.

There was another one fron New Zealand where someone took tools off a billboard, so they posted a picture of him and slapped it right across the billboard for every passing driver to see. Funny, pathetic. 

 

Maybe Google will make it have exclusive features for Google Chrome? (Maps). But yeah, I just tried Chrome once, doing a second run soon.

Ok Google Maps does not work with Google Chrome? That's like Google ignoring it's Google Android G1 phone in favor of the Apple Iphone. Just stupid.
