Quicktime Show Notes
- Google Street View is a great tool for seeing exactly what is around the area where you're thinking of moving.
- This is especially helpful if you're relocating from across the country or even across the globe.
- All you need to do is go to maps.google.com and enter in the city, address or zip code and click on search.
- Then just click on the little yellow man and drag him anywhere on the map where you see a blue outline. These are the areas where street view is available.
- When he's hovering overhead, you'll see a snapshot image of what's below and when you drop him and place him on the map, a window will pop open and show you exactly what is around where he is standing.
- You can click on and drag the map around to get a different view and click on the arrows to move forward or back on the street. There's also good zooming available if you just keep double clicking on the map.
