Streetview in the Wild: A Flourishing Species

The Google Maps API blog today published an extensive list of new Google Maps that use the new (to the Google Maps API) street view feature.

DualMaps
For a given location, displays the Street View, Birds Eye View, and Google aerial map view simultaneously and lets you embed or share the result.



Povo
A local reviews site specially for Boston. Displays street view in a lightbox for each location, and has made a Street View tour especially for the recent Boston Marathon.

StreetView Adventure Game:
In the spirit of the classic interactive fiction games like Zork, this demo lets you play a short game that begins with chasing a guy trying to climb out a window in San Francisco.

Arrested for ignoring a crime in progress?

Weren't the four main characters in Seinfeld arrested in the very last episode for something like that?

Pamela mis-spelled it. "Ong Map V2" is actually version2 of ONGMAP :) . Still in Alpha status, though

Thanks Yuki - I've changed the spelling to ONGMAP.

(for those confused by anonymous' comment and my reply we are referring to one of the 'descriptions' in the Streetview Adventure Game.)
