Google Street view released in New Zealand
The release of Google Street View marks a new milestone for web applications. The web-app, which allows a Google Maps user to view virtual street scapes as if they were actually walking down the street, is probably the most complicated software application attempted on the net to date, performing feats that were previously only available in very high-end GIS software packages.
Street view combines Adobe Flash and the Google Maps API to display the panoramic views and works very well on my 3 year old laptop with a broadband connection.
The commercial benefits of Street View are already being demonstrated by Trade Me Property, where you can look up and down the street of a listed property as well as at pictures of the house itself.
If you have a Street View that you would like to display on your website, give us a call. As you can see below, showing a street view on your website is as easy as pasting into the Klixo Story Editor.
