You Can find out where the Street View cars are currently on the road

 

Google has just released a major update to their Street View site with a handful of great new features. Notice that this isn’t new imagery, but it’s still quite cool for a few reasons.

Along with greater detail about the various Street View vehicles and your privacy, they’ve added an oft-requested feature: where the cards are currently driving. People often ask when imagery for their city will be updated, and now we get a nice glimpse at the answer.

Beyond that, you can learn the details of how the imagery from cars gets converted to Street View or check out their gallery of locations, which includes some amazing views.

March Madness in Google Earth

If you’re a college basketball fan, your favorite time of the year has arrived — March Madness!

In true Google form, they’ve modeled all of the stadiums being used in the tournament in beautiful 3D, giving you a great way to check out all of the venues from within Google Earth.

Some of the stadiums even include indoor modeling, like we saw for the Super Bowl this year, such as Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX.

You can view all of the stadiums in a few different ways:

• Their college basketball tournament map, which provides information about all of the games and venues.
• This KML tour for Google Earth.
• By watching the tour video below:

Personally, I’m pleased to see Michigan make it to the Dance this year, since they don’t go nearly as often as they used to.
