With Street View in version 6 you can go seamlessly from shot to shot. I am 'driving' around the streets using only the cursor keys.

It's like a driving simulator!

(To get into Street View click and drag on the yellow man next to the zoom/navigate buttons)

I'd heard GE was becoming more like a browser...is this different from Google Maps Streetview? (We have 100% coverage in NZ and it's great)

I like it , but it takes too long to focus (maybe it's my computer??).......

Yes, you do have to pause to let it catch up with itself but it's a huge improvement over the previous version when you had to keep leaving Street View and coming back to it further up the road. I've been 'driving' myself all over my recent holiday (and finding all the short cuts I could have taken).

Agree 100%.
I can actually 'drive' around the lake wildlife sanctuary opposite my home.
Another great way to 'waste' time ........:ernae:

Impressive, thanks for sharing! I didn't know they had released a new version.
