Ultima Thule Posted February 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2010 A few weeks ago Finland and Norway was included to Google Street View. It means you now can have 360° panoramic views and make virtual promenades on most streets of Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm. If you just have a decently fast computer its a incredible device for planning and exploring. On 3D view: -Use the map in the corner to navigate, and use the mouse to pan the main image around. The arrow icons let you move around at street level. -Click on the image. A circle will appear. Click on the circle and you'll move forward some 50 to 100 feet. -Zoom out to return to map view. On map view: -Drag the yellow man icon onto the map. -Any street highlighted blue has an available street level view. -Drop the icon at the point you want to view from and you will switch to the 3D image. Here are some key points in Helsinki for a cruise tourist to start exploring from.
