I've been reading today that "Street View" had come to Australia- which usually means Sydney & Melbourne. But no it includes most streets in Narrabri.
Go to http://maps.google.com.au, type in your address and then click "Street View". You will see photos of your street on a particular day (several months ago). You can go for a virtual walk, turn around etc. It's very interesting.
This technology has heaps of uses- like when you want to describe a place, check out a location. I'll bet real estate agents, tourism operators and others will jump on this real fast!
I am amazed at the way technology is going.
Very cool!!! I checked out mine as well, but it hasn't reached my street yet, only the end of the street where the highway is.Isn't the technology now amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThere's a turn around- Narrabri ahead of Florida. I was surprised to see that it goes a fair way out of town along highways and rural roads. I'm sure it's a technology that will find many uses. Margaret's already thinking that she should print out pictures of the houses she needs to visit for EBay pickups on Friday to make it a little easier to find places.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw something on google maps that offers you that option. Good idea, it will probably save her a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteI found two adjacent frames where the cars at Sevil Motors transform into caravans at Kaputar Ford. I guess Dangar St was done more recently than Gibbons St.
