Google Monday - Take a Google Tour of New York
If you’ve never been to New York, or many other locations for that matter, now is your chance to virtually visit (thanks to Google). Google maps now gives you “Street View” of many popular locations. I’ve been to Manhattan a couple times, so it’s kinda cool for me to take a look at the spots that I’ve already visited to refresh my memory. I haven’t figured out if you can take these street views inside a building yet, but if anyone can, I’m sure Google will find a way.
If you haven’t toyed with the street view of Google Maps, I urge you to take a gander at what they have accomplished. First, go to Google Maps. Then enter an address, I just entered “Times Square, NY, NY” to get to the heart of Times Square. Click on “Search maps”. At the top of the map, look for the “Street View” button and click it. Then click on the map at the desired location and a little Adobe window opens showing you a real image of the location. Me being a sports fan am naturally going to look up ESPNZone. That is where many ESPN shows are broadcast.
Google, the master of information has provided another cool tool for anyone to use for free. Check it out and tell me where you visited on Google maps.
