Hey, Google Maps turned on Street View for Austin

28 March 2008 | Kristin Hillery

How exciting: Google Maps now gives you the option for Street View when you’re looking at Austin. That means you can browse the city by looking at panoramic photographs taken by a magical Google truck or something. Go play!

Keep an eye out for funny stuff — lots of people have spotted things going on in Street View for other cities, like crimes in progress and giant pumpkins.
