I just found out that Google Maps has a new feature called Google Street. Ok, it’s not really ‘new’ but it is to me and it is so freaking cool! You can actually see a real picture of the street and not just a map drawing or a satellite view. Too curious, I searched if I can find our California Office in Google Streets and after a view clicks, I got this!

Hey, looky! It’s the US Auto Parts Network Corporate Office! Notice the familiar logo on the left?

Wow! This is so ultra cool! Although Google Street is limited to major cities and streets in the US, it will eventually increase its database of street views, revolutionizing the way maps work. This is the future of maps, I must say. If you are wondering how Google got their 360-deg picture of your street, well, some say that they have this roving vehicle that gathers the data it needs.

I also found some funny stuff from the net that Google Street captured.

Wow. Really amazing.

Is it also true that Google engineers have replaced NASA scientists as world’s smartest people? :D
