Street View

I've just been playing with "Street View", a new feature from Google Maps. Its very cool. Wish they had it in New Zealand (but given that its not available for the UK or anywhere else yet I imagine it'll be a long time coming).

This is the Street View of the hotel where I stayed in New York last year (Affinia Manhattan on 7th Avenue).

I'd love to see the cameras they must have used to capture all the 3D images (presumably mounted on top of a car/van of some sort). The Intro Video is quite funny too (nice orange suit, dude).
