5 Artistic Uses of Google Street View

People are using Google Street View for more than checking travel routes. You can use the mapping tool to test hotel neighborhoods, to take virtual tours of the world’s most famous art galleries, or to arrange imagery for innovative photography and video projects. SEE ALSO: Top 28 Google Street View Sightings The Google Street View (GSV) car, fitted with 15 directional cameras, captures panoramas from over 30 countries – but not without controversy. In 2010, GSV cars inadvertently collected payload data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks, and a few weeks ago Google offered an opt-out from Wi-Fi tracking to curb further criticism.

This may have some practical uses. For instance, you can create a time-lapse of the route between the airport and your business, add voice narration to mention the important landmarks on that route, and people are then less likely to call you for directions.
