Whykay's happenings

Irish major cities and towns in Streetview soon

This would be cool, the day after Paddy's day, the Google cars will be out and about taking 360 degrees snap shots of the streets. Fantastic, can't wait to see them up, Was very useful for Mick and I trying to see how far it was from our Mandarin Oriental hotel to Apple Store in San Fran. Wished we used it to check out Tokyo (although I think it may not have been available at the time) whilst we were on our honeymoon.

I just hope there aren't too many hungover people and tourists after Paddy's day, and the city councils are all out having the streets cleaned before the Google cars go around.
