I love using the street view in Google Maps, but it was only for parts of the US. Lucky for me, they have expanded and have gone worldwide.

Goto http://maps.google.com and type in an address. Zoom out a little to get a fuller view of the map. Click on the person icon above the zoom bar and drag it onto the map. You will notice some areas turning blue. Those areas have street view. Just drop the person icon on any of the blue areas and you will get the street view.

I have noticed this also ! Thanks for sharing.

Lamone · 8 February 2010, 10:52 AM

I'm not sure it's available worldwide, I've tried a new places overseas and no street view. Bummer.

vh_bu98 · 9 February 2010, 09:28 AM

I just find it cool to see what other countries look like. What's JJ's address so we can pull it up?

OrchidDR · 9 February 2010, 10:01 AM

You better be careful Ashley, some of these TRF guys may come up to Alberta and find you.

Hey, Calgary is a city of over a million people, good luck finding me! If anyone wants to come here, I will show them the best sushi place in town, and give them the grand tour of my fair city.

Works in Google maps for smartphones as well!

I have a bad history with sushi places - perhaps pizza instead? =]

I'm sure I could find a good pizza place!

Very cool, I found my mom's farm on the outskirts of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, but the street view ends just past this, so I can't see the old family homesteads in the rural area.

Ah, Saskatchewan

Duplicate post, but for Ashley, another prairie shot - east side of our farm:

Ashley · 10 February 2010, 04:32 AM

I miss the flatness of the prairies... I haven't been out in so long.

DSJ · 10 February 2010, 04:36 AM

I'm gonna try and visit this summer, you should come visit MJ!

I can't stand flatness...been dealing with it for years in Texas. I was raised in New England so I love trees and mountains.

That's why I love Calgary, ten minutes outside of the city one way is prairies, twenty minutes the other way and you are headed into our beautiful Rocky Mountains. Best of both worlds

DSJ · 10 February 2010, 03:44 PM

I love mountains too, miss them like crazy, it's why my home in MN is on the Mississippi River bluffs, closest thing to mountains around here.

But there is SOMETHING about the prairie, Saskatchewan is NOTHING like Texas. So flat you can see the earth curvature, and in many areas, NO fences to break up the fields of grain; like a waving ocean. It's really something.

Canada is like nothing in the world... Or at least, the parts I have been to!
