Be there without going there

There are lots of mapping applications available including Microsoft Virtual Earth, Mapquest, all of the GPS enabled applications, and Google Earth. Today, Google announced its latest addition to its online mapping application, 360 Streetside Views.

It's only available for a few locations right now, with more to come soon. And it won't help you find your way to the closest campground either. But if you need to see... I mean actually SEE... the street corner to tell whether your rig will make it around the turn, this might just help you out.

Personally, I think I'll route around downtown San Francisco, but at least now I know how bad the tight the turn would be if I had to go there.
