Block view

Now this is a feature that Google Maps is currently missing: A9 Maps and Block View. Just click around the map and get pictures taken from street level.
I actually hear rumors that Google is out there driving around selected cities, trying to achieve the same thing as a further enchancement to Google Maps.
Ooops, scrolling around killed my safari... :)
Yeah, it killed mine, too. But it works stable on Firefox. The photos are not 100% accurate, they may be shifted about half a block, but it was fun to go to my old place (30th / 8th) to check if they catched me on the photo, but I had no luck :-)
Now that is a pretty neat feature.
Now, where do i got to lunch in SF today.
