Google Street View finally comes to Charleston
Supporter message
Nearly 10 months after photographing our streets, Google Maps Street View has finally come to Charleston and much of the rest of the country.
Today the company doubled its Street View coverage of the country.
So, if you know what it is go check it out. -- If you don't know what it is, Google has an overview for you (it's got a fun video intro).
Want more technical details? This blog post has some good shots of how the cars are setup, and Wikipedia has loads of miscellany details.

Google Streetview works even better on the iphone! Much smoother and easier to navigate when you don't use a mouse.

Yes, I have an iPhone and have noticed how -- surprisingly -- smooth it is. Have you see Microsoft's Seadragon for the iPhone? Also surprisingly smooth. http://theappleblog.com/2008/12/15/microsoft-releases-seadragon-iphone-app/
