Going on a Virtual Car Ride with Street View

Street View is a relativity new feature of Google Maps, and you may have already discovered it. On select roads, it lets you see at the street level, just as if you were really there. Special photographic equipment was used to capture the images so you can zoom, pan, and rotate, providing you with a virtual visit. This is useful when going somewhere new so you can familiarize yourself with the destination and its surroundings. Plus, you can have fun with Street View by visiting national or international landmarks and places.

To use Street View, bring up a map or directions as usual with Google Maps. After you search for a location, the pop-up window pointing to the location on the map may contain a Street View link and thumbnail photo; you can click this if available. Otherwise, you can click and drag the person icon above the zoom control to the desired location. The routes or places that you can view are shown by the blue lines. To exit the Street View feature and return to the normal map, click the x in the upper right corner of the image.

Planning Public Transportation with Google Transit

If you live or visit a city where there’s public transportation, you can use Google Transit to plan your route. Tell it a starting and destination address and the desired leave or arrival time, and it should come back with a plan. It will search the database of participating transit companies and give any available details. For example, it might say walk to bus stop 22 and take bus 103 to stop 10, walk down the street, and then take the subway to the destination.

To use the service, you can go to the Google Transit site; however, it’s also available via Google Maps. On the page where you enter the starting and ending address for directions, choose the By Public Transit option. There you’ll also notice a Walking option which you may find interesting.
