Just when Google Maps couldn’t get any cooler, out they come with Street View. Now when you’re browsing Google Maps, in select cities you can click the Street View option, which then gives you panoramic photos of the particular intersection you’re looking at. You can then navigate along at street level. Very cool.

Best way to try it…
1. Go to maps.google.com
2. Search to New York, NY
3. Click on the street view icon

Apparently it’s now available in Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, and San Francisco.

Straight link to the service in San Francisco is here.
