Visit DisneyLand Paris Using Google Street View

Disneyland Paris is the first amusement park available in Google Street View. "Last October, as the last few rays of sunlight remained high enough in the sky, Disneyland Paris opened its gates early to our Street View car to capture some of the magic at street-level. We drove up Main Street USA (outside of Paris!), through Adventureland, and around Fantasyland and even in Walt Disney Studios Park," explains Google.

You can also view an impressive 3D model of Disneyland Paris in Google Earth. "More than 85,000 photos (450GB worth) were taken over a 20 day period for this project. The castle alone is comprised of over 354 textures derived from over 2,000 photos. (...) There are over 500 unique landscape elements that were created to make the park look as realistic as possible."

Google Street View Italy Released - October 29th

I've been traveling this evening, or I would have reported sooner: Quick on the heels of France and Spain, now Italy gets some Street View coverage as well. Included locations are: Milan, Florence, Rome and Lake Como. That's essentially three new countries to get notable Street View coverage in two weeks. Reports came in from Google Maps Mania, Digital Earth Blog and Google Blogoscoped, and I got an E-mail from GEB reader 'Munden' as well.

Google Street View Live in France

Google Street View – those panorama photos part of Google Maps – has now been released for France, as second country in the world after the US. However, the pics taken are just from the Tour de France route, as Luka from the French Zorgloob blog explains. The faces of people are blurred as they are in other Street View locations nowadays, Luka explains.

Mapjack

Something like Google Maps Street View but with a remarkable quality and some surprising features.

clipped from www.mapjack.com

The purpose of MapJack is to provide good looking pictures
from cities all over the world, to get an immersive feeling of actually being there.
To make the experience of walking down a street easier, MapJack feature three main
functions.

The picture display, at the top of the screen, where immersive
panorama pictures can be viewed.

The map, at the bottom of the screen, which gives context
to the current location.

The search function, at the left of the screen, to find street addresses
and local businesses.

MapJack's browser window can be resized, and the borders between the three functions can be dragged with the
mouse cursor to customize the screen space.
