As you know I love Google maps and really like mash-ups. Well a few days ago Google has added street views to its maps. For now it is only in a few cities (San Fran, NYC, Denver (?), and Miami). Basically someone from Google drove all the streets with a panoramic camera on the roof and sync'ed it with GPS locations.
At this link is the exact location where my family had an "in and out" Burger in San Fran last December. It is way cool feature that has once again changed the way we look at maps.

I just can't replace one evil empire with another, I will stick with the original evil-doer MS. But your right maps have changed I was able to share this Live Map with a season ticket holder who had described to me the best parking at Shea. Everytime I went I ended up on a hwy to NYC or in a pkg lot I needed to take a bus to the stadium from. Using the arial high detail images he was able to show me the path. It was last night and Weaver blew it with a homerun to tie. It is going to get tough for the Amazins' to Hold on. You may have to select the photoview I don't think it is the default.
