Street View now available for Cheddington

You can now take a virtual tour of Cheddington's streets with the compliments of Google Earth or Google Map!  From the main Google page, click on the 'Map' link at the top left of the screen.  Then, using Google Map, simply type Cheddington into the search bar, zoom in to the greater magnification levels, click on the 'orange' man at the top of the zoom bar and drag him over the streets.  Streets that have photographic views available turn blue.  Release the orange man at the desired point and you get a photographic view which you can rotate.  Double click a viewpoint, and you automatically move to that point for a new 360deg view.  There is a similar feature in Google Earth, but Google Earth software is downloaded to your PC, whereas Google Map is available from the normal Google page without the need to download any further software.

Try it out - the photos were taken on a nice sunny day, so Cheddington looks at its best!  Can you find your house?!
