Oh wow this would be better. You can see where your going looks like. I would use this one more. I think its cool they show you around kinda like a tour before you get there. You can see if thats where you really want to go to.

I checked it out at EveryScape.com and found that the quality of this view is greater than Google Maps Street View. You can see all the stores and buildings and cars! This is an interesting technology, I look forward to seeing it once it’s out of beta.
