这有用吗？ -Google街景

A while back I posted about interesting maps (actually in 2005!) and listed out all the interesting map sites. At the time, Amazon's maps.a9.com was the most innovative because they had street level imagery. They've since shut down, but today Google Maps took it to the next level with Google StreetView.

前阵子我发布了一些有趣的地图(实际上是在2005年！)，并列出了所有有趣的地图站点。 当时，亚马逊的maps.a9.com是最具创新性的，因为它们具有街道级别的图像。 此后他们已经关闭，但是今天Google Maps通过Google StreetView将其提升到了一个新的水平。

Not sure why you'd want to watch a blurry video rather than just going there, but you can see a demo on YouTube if you like.

不确定为什么要观看模糊的视频而不只是去那里，但是如果您愿意，可以在YouTube上观看演示。

The embedded Flash has a nice draggable cylinder view like QuickTime VR, letting you see any angle stitched together.

嵌入式Flash具有类似QuickTime VR的漂亮的可拖动圆柱视图，可让您看到缝合在一起的任何角度。

The user interface is pure brilliance. Pick up the little yellow man and drag him, and his little feet float in the wind as you drag him round, until he's firmly planted on virtual ground again. A green arrow indicates which direction he's facing. Even arrow keyboard hotkeys work as they should!

用户界面纯净光彩。 捡起那个黄色的小矮人并拖拽他，当您将他拖到周围时，他的小脚在风中漂浮，直到他再次牢固地植在虚拟的地面上。 绿色箭头指示他面对的方向。 甚至箭头键盘热键也可以正常工作！

Here's the real question - is this useful?
