Google Maps Street View Update - Walk on other countries streets in an instant

Some new changes and features of Google maps had been implemented. One of them would be the street view of a certain location you want to check. Want to know how? since it's really cool and you can travel to other places in an instant.

As soon as the map loads it gave me command options on my left screen: (Please see pic below)

  • The zoom in and zoom out button -  This command allows you to zoom in and zoom out the current map that you are viewing. And it's quite useful when you want to see the overview of a certain place. You can zoom out a certain location when you want to look at things more wider.  While the zoom in allows you to focus and increase it's function. It allows you to zoom in to a specific location when you want to know a certain street or address.
  • Yellow Peg man - You can drag the yellow peg man on the current location you want to gain a street view. If you do this this will give you a street view result(please see pic below).


A street view from Paris France in front is the famous Eiffel Tower
Now you can go to those favorite places you want by just typing the address and search it on Google. Take a walk and be able to see the places you have not seen. 

But it only works for limited countries at the moment. Some places/countries haven't had this street view, I think Google is still having an ongoing development for this. So that other countries can have a street view feature just like others.
