Google Street View cutting through Central Oregon
Jake discovers that Google Street View (the from-the-street photo perspective in Google Maps) has made it to Bend. Sort of—I checked it out and it looks like the Google Car only passed through Bend north-south on the Parkway and Third Street, and east out Greenwood and Highway 20.
It also extends north and west through Redmond and Sisters, and in fact looks like they followed the major highways through the area.
So we’ve only got a partial Street View, but that’s still pretty cool. Now I wonder how long before they start getting more streets mapped?
The Google street view is pretty sweet, but it sure does make Bend look like an ugly and depressing place!!!
