Google's Street View
We've been apartment hunting for quite a while now. Our 10-month contract for our current unit will end soon.
And few days ago (while I was browsing some properties), I discovered something so amazing over the internet. Domain.com.au website now features a Street View (courtesy of Google) of the property alongside the conventional maps and photos.
This one will enable you to check out a street level view of properties and walk down the actual street by panning, rotating and zooming the map. Isn't it cool?!
I find it very useful especially if I want to familiarize myself to a certain place. And since we'll be doing inspections on several apartments this week, I'm really glad to learn about this feature. I can now explore the whole neighbourhood and see the nearest shops and establishments around the place.
