31/05: Google takes it to the Streets
Greetings from Ottawa! Well you would have thought spirits would be pretty low here in Ottawa after their Senators lost a close first Stanley Cup game to the Ducks. But everyone was riding high from a great day at ‘The Great Glebe Garage Sale.’ This annual event is a community garage sale in the trendy Glebe area of Ottawa. You can find just about anything here, and vendors donate a portion of their proceeds to the Ottawa Food Bank. Musicians also come out for the day, and I got a chance to pick up the sax and play with the Swampwater Jazz Band!
Anyway, I came back to my hotel room and began exploring San Francisco. A few hours later, I was still in San Francisco! I had discovered Google’s latest edition to Maps, called ‘Streetview’. They only have a few cities, but I had a blast cruising the Vegas Strip, Broadway in New York and San Fran.
Streetview could be a great addition to any mobile directions. Imagine not just knowing to turn after going .81 miles, but also to turn at the Red Brick building!
While in Streetview, I cruised by my Apartment building to see where I might put my latest purchase, a Canadian Mountie!
