In another great looking advance in web 2.0 technology, Google has enhanced their Maps application with Street Views for more cities across the United States.

Now Winston-Salem is available to have another view of an address along with the standard map view, satellite photo (which seriously needs to be updated) and the terrain view. Quite easy to use actually. Streets that have the new view are outlined in blue and you have a liitle man that you can move around the screen, click on him and see the view from the street of the location you selected.

The photos themselves are fairly recent. Most of the shots were taken last autumn. Because of the route taken by the specially equipped cars, there could be some jarring discepancies from one address to the next as when the shot was taken especially around construction sites.
