good for locating unfamiliar venues n stuff

thought i'd share this with anyone who's not seen it yet - Google Street View lets you see a 360 degree view of

in your browser, go to Google Maps, find where you want to see and drag the little yellow man onto the road

I think it'd be good for if you'r going to a new venue and don't know what the roads around it are like... maybe good for putting a pic of each venue up on your site in your gig list... the possibilities are endless :)

It's great, I was going on the bus to an unfamiliar rehearsal room so I printed off the map and then a screenshot of the street view of the bus stop I was supposed to get off at - showing any nearby landmarks and it did the job perfectly.
