Google Maps Street View

Call it creepy or whatever but Google has released a "Street View" as part of it's Google Maps package. You can basically drive your route and see actual images of the streets. Some are calling it an invasion of privacy since you may be caught in these images or pictures of open apartments and what not may be shown. I think it's pretty cool, especially in large cities where directions can get harry when you don't know which turn to take on a five road intersection. Using street view you can see all the intersections ahead of time and see what the buildings look like around your destination so you know if you're getting close or not. Check it out.
