7-3 Google Street View Car

Yesterday at Lions Park in Killeen we saw the Google Street View car driving around the park, do you know what that is? Google has these cars that drive around all over the world recording views from every street and roadway, the cars have these special camera's mounted on top of them that record 360 degree views as they drive, Google then uploads these images to the internet and when you look up an address via maps.google.com you can click a button and see a street view of that address.

 Here is how it works:

1. Go to https://www.google.com/maps
2. Search for an address, something like: 1508 Parkside Circle, Round Rock, Tx
3. You will get the following screen

 4. Now click on the rectangular box that says street view and you will get this...

Very cool, this can really help if you look up the address of a business and want to see what the building looks like, then when you get there you know what you are looking for.
