For this exercise, I chose to discover Google Maps, which came in first place for Maps. There is a new feature called Street View. I had seen a news clip about it on the telly last week.
The pic above is of Main. Once you click on it, it opens up with tools to see the street view, a 360 degree view using your mouse.
You can go to http://www.palmbeachpost.com/search/content/local_news/epaper/2008/06/12/m1a_google_west_palm_0613.html to read the whole article about it. It's neat how Google did it and I wonder if anybody else will do that.
Go to Google Maps and see if your house is on Street View. If you live in a gated community, chances are you won't be able to see it in Street View.
This could be a good mapping site for patrons who are from out of town or don't know the area they will be going to, or just to see some landmarks from the comfort of being indoors.
