There is another google's useful site, google street view.

Many Koreans are used Daum street view for preview some place.

But this is limited in scope, only Korea.

So some people who want to see view of a foreign country are used google maps. 

Google maps is popular but users can't see real view.

Because goolg maps provides simple map and satellite picture.

People need to search each picture for themselves searching other people's blog, book and so on.

But this is very inconvenient.

 

Google street view is out of this problems.

You don't have to spend time and evergy for searching.

In google street view, you can see real pictures of place and feel the atmosphere.

Even google street view provides real and high-definition images from the ocean to polar regions.

You can also participate in production of street view.
Anyone can send their pictures to google.
These pictures are more realistic because all these pictures was filmed by the general public.
We can see daily life picures of the place.





But there are some problems about pricacy.
You can see every people, cars, restaurants, shops and so on.
Because all pictures are actuality.
So google basically protects individuals privacy by blurring.
You can also request your right, if your privacy was infringed.
