Google Streetview debuts in Palm Beach County and northern Martin County
Google Streetview launched today in Palm Beach County and northern Martin County.
You probably already have spent countless idle hours staring at Google Earth, looking at the roof of your family’s house and Aunt Sophie’s condo and the top of the Empire State Building.
Now you can spend more idle hours looking at the front door and facade of your family’s house or any other structure that’s been added to Google Streetview, where the photo was taken at street level.
Streetview isn’t everywhere in the U.S. so it’s great that we’ve got it for our family and friends around the country — the ones that don’t visit — to check out the old homestead.
The shot of my house must have been taken on a weekend because both my Element and my wife’s Civic are in the driveway.
Here’s how you do it: Go to Google Maps and click on “Streetview.” Then, plug in an address and click on the arrows in the photo to get the best angle.
Another local happening takes place tonight. Pearl Jam kicks off its deal with Verizon Wireless at the first concert of its Pearl Jam 2008 tour at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. Start time: 7:30 p.m.
Every night after a concert, Pearl Jam’s studio engineers will mix three songs that will be released on the V Cast Music service. One track will be free. You’ll have to pay for the other two. Each free mobile bootleg will be available until the following show so don’t get used to it.
