Google's pictures of UK go live

bbc.co.uk | Thursday, 19 March 2009

Google has launched the UK version of its Street View service, which allows users to browse a selection of pictures taken along city streets.

Street scenes in 25 UK cities from Aberdeen to Southampton can be viewed using the service.(...)

Google Maps users can zoom in to a given location and then drag the "Pegman" icon above the zoom bar on to a given street.
