Google Street View now available for Finland and Norway

[Ultima Thule]

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.
