"Street view" coming to Google Maps?
It looks like Google is prepping a new feature for Google Maps that will include a street-level view. While it's not clear what that view will look like, how users will navigate, or if it will be easier to use than Microsoft's version (shown to the right), Google has registered a series of domain names related to the project:- GOOGLE-MAPS-STREET-VIEW.COM

But being able to search for driving directions, and then actually see the route before getting in the car could make navigating the road a whole lot easier.
