I think it is great because many people who don’t have chances of exploring the country may at least see how it looks like.

You don’t download Street View. Simply go to http://www.maps.google.co.za and then drag the little green man placed in the left hand controls to anywhere on the map.
If the particular area has been covered by Google, you will see blue lines appear on the map as you drag the little green man (pegman).

http://www.schoolguide.co.za has been mapping schools in south Africa for the past three years, the inclusion of Google Street Views has added a totally new dimension to our site.

I agree with Adrian from RE/MAX, parents that are relocating should be able to get a feel for the area, its surroundings and the schools nearby.

Loving the technology.

PS: The security issues raised are realistic, but I suspect a smart entrepreneur will soon find a way to use Google Maps + Street Views to offer enhanced security services to leafy suburbs

RE/MAX is really excited at the launch of this technology and have geared ourselves correctly to implement it on our website http://www.remax.co.za for some time now. Buyers can now not only view the property but the surroundings as well to get a better idea of where they might be purchasing a home.

Fantastic stuff!
