LONDON, UK - Google Street Views has blown me away. The ability to do a 3D rotational view of any street on the map at 20m intervals, at eye level is simply incredible.
Now Google have this data, I’m wondering what the next stage is - where do they go from here? My prediction is they’ll begin stitching the images together to form ‘videos’ of the driving route route it suggests you. To prototype it, I took 40 frames manually and joined them into a small flicker book animation. The potential is impressive isn’t it!
It’s really got me thinking where this mapping/locational technology is going. I have a number of ideas here how this could be made into live feeds and adapted for rescue work.

A good maps mashup with downloadable “get directions” routes or public sightseeing tours in the form of flv movies like yours would be a step in the right direction. I’ve had my past forty holidays in three weeks courtesy of streetview, but my mouse is worn out.
