When did Google Maps get animated 3d driving directions? I guess they are walking and biking too?

Annoying *new* streetview. They've removed the static navigational arrows, so you have to just click on the road to move around. Which is terrible because if you get a road that goes over/under another road you'll end up teleporting.

also horrid huge road labels don't seem to be removable.

hmm, I still have the arrows (although I can't see them unless I look down at my feet)

...and they only allow you to move forwards and backwards, whereas there used to be 4-directional arrows at upcoming intersections. yeah, this is definitely not an improvement.

Is your "Nawlins" album all from Street View?

Yeah, I think they might even be posted up on this thread somewhere. I was just amazed at how they didnt blur out any of the faces.

I guess they are redoing Japan at the minute, lotsa little pokey back streets to cover in those cities, must be difficult.

I realize I'm a bit early, but welcome to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost Google Streets spot, during Constitution Day (17 May). Enjoy your snowmobile ride up the valley.

Hate it when a link dies. It's like I die a little as well.

Nah, just go down a little further north, to the end of the road. I'll be right here when you get back, promise.

I guess the "Free Candy" sign was at the start of the road.

It drops you in a random location in Street View--anywhere in the world, or limit it to specific countries, cities, etc.

Tool around in Street View looking for clues to your location. (Oh look, a sign for a eucalyptus oil distillery and a street named South Coast Road--southern Australia maybe?)

In another little window, zoom all the way in on a world map and click where you think you are. It will show you how close you were and award points.

That tells me "no results found for your search".

Has anyone tried wandering around central London on streetview recently? It might be fixed by now but for a while they were using pictures taken after dark and you could hardly see anything.
