For those that haven't checked out the "Street View" on Google maps, you have got to check out this cool, realatively new, feature. It allows you to see things from the street as though you were driving by. While recent years have brought satellite images of better quality, these don't really help when it comes to giving "landmark" style directions or checking out what an area really looks like as you drive through it. Well, leave it to Google to come up with a fantastic new feature that fixes this problem.
Satellite View - Cool and useful, but what does it look like if I'm trying to drive there?

Steet View - So that's what I'm looking for...

Ok, maybe you could figure out that you were at the Ballpark in Arlington without needing to see the street view, but you get the point. External, street-level views of houses, businesses, restaurants and more. You can even click on arrows to move up and down the street as though you were driving and pan 360 degrees around your location or look up or down! The only complaint I have is that much of Collin County is not available yet. Lets keep our fingers crossed that they're out taking photos on Collin County streets as I'm writing this.
