“Google Street View” was launched in Canada last week and I for one am truly impressed. Google has stayed one step ahead of the game once again and has added to it’s already impressive online mapping. Google Street View is basically a new addition to Google maps and google earth that allows you to view locations in most of the world from street level. Not only can you view the locations, but it is a clear digital image and it is easy to navigate your way around approximately 5 meters at a time.

Here is link to wikipedia for it’s definition of street view.

This is a new service that I plan to implement into my business for my clients. Vancouver Real Estate at the tip of your fingers. You gotta love it. Buyer’s can preview potential properties from the comfort of their own home. Virtual tours of properties (interior) have improved so much over the past few years and now the (outdoor) virtual tour is on par.

Farewell mapquest. It’s been fun…… but I’ve moved on. I hope you enjoy the street noise in the video, cuz hey, why would I film anywhere other than the street?
