Many of us love to travel, discover new places, get many vivid and unforgettable impressions from an exciting trip. At the same time, we do not always have the opportunity to visit where we would like, to walk along the streets of beautiful cities and enjoy all the wonderful flavor of those places. The Google company went to meet such users by launching in 2007 an online service that allows them to make a virtual trip through the streets of many cities around the world. In this article, I will talk about the Google Maps Street View service, explain how to use it, and perform an online survey of streets and houses.
Google Street View - street view in Google Maps
"Google Street View" (Google Street View) Is a technology based on the work of Google Maps and Google Earth services that allows you to view panoramas of streets in many cities around the world.
The service was launched in 2007, and initially included photographs of some US cities. Nowadays, its capabilities allow you to enjoy the panorama of the streets of many cities of the Old and New World.
The creation of such panoramas is usually carried out with the help of a specialized vehicle on which a ball-shaped camera is located, which takes 360-degree continuous shooting.
The photos obtained in this way are processed by Google and placed on the specified service, allowing you to construct breathtaking panoramas of the streets of many cities in the world.
And although most of the photos were taken with a car, there are many photos taken by a pedestrian, trekker, tricycle, snowmobile, ATV, boat, and even underwater vehicles.
When there is a pedestrian instead of a car How you can see streets and houses in Google Maps
To view streets using Google services, you can use both the stationary Google Maps network service and the capabilities of the Google Street View mobile application.
To perform a street view of a city (take, for example, the city of Moscow) do the following:
- Start the "Google Maps" service using your PC browser (you can also just type in the name of the city and the desired street in the search bar of the Google search engine, you will be prompted to view this place on Google maps);
- Find the city you need on the map (enter its name and street in the search bar, or find the city you need by moving the map and scaling it with the mouse wheel);
- Find the street you need, and then click on any of its places (a marker will appear there). Now select a small photo of this street at the bottom of the screen, and you will go into the view mode of this street;
- To activate the street view mode, you can also select the little man icon on the right, and, holding the left mouse button, drag it to the street we need;
- To move along the street, place the cursor on the desired place in the street and press the left mouse button. The places where you can move are marked with an "X". In this case, the arrows behind and in front of you indicate that you can move in the indicated directions;
- By holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse in the desired direction, you can look around and admire the local sights (you can also use the "+" and "-" keys next to the icon on the right to zoom in and out);
- To return to the general view of the city, click on the back arrow at the top left.
Is it possible to see streets in Google in real time
Many users would like to enjoy real-time viewing of the desired streets and cities using services like Google Maps. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to implement such a thing (except for the places where cameras are installed), since card services Google, Yandex and their competitors use photographs taken weeks, months, or even years ago.
The actual implementation of such tasks would require the use of many satellites, which, at the moment, are used primarily for military purposes.
Conclusion
In this article, I described the specifics of using the Google Maps service for street viewing. The specified service can be useful for exploring the sights of various cities in the world, for building optimal routes and solving other similar problems. Take a virtual trip to various cities in the world, and you may want to personally go to a place you like in order to fully enjoy its amazing beauty. It's worth it.
Undoubtedly, virtual travel cannot and should not replace real travel with all their range of vivid sensations and impressions. But they help us see any corner of the earth for free, even if you yourself will never be able to visit it. In addition, it is a very convenient way to get a lot of useful information in advance and plan your future travels.
You can fly in the stratosphere over the entire planet or over the rooftops of Paris and St. Petersburg, look into the halls of the British Museum or the Kremlin treasury, find yourself among the mountains and waterfalls of Iceland or in the amazing underwater world on the Galapagos Islands ... Stop dreaming, there are no more obstacles in front of you!
1. Panoramas 360cities.net
Just as poets describe the world with poetry, painters with paintings, composers with music, so 360cities.net describes the world with picturesque panoramas.
Here are collected tens of thousands of photographs from all over the world, and not only ours - there are even panoramas of other planets from one interesting rover. Here you will enjoy traveling virtually through the capital of Nepal, the city of Kathmandu, or exploring the panorama of London, which was shot with such a high resolution that you can see people's faces in the windows of houses.
2. Google photo tours
Of course, the ability to view streets on GoogleStreetView maps has long been a surprise. But not everyone, perhaps, knows that the participants in this project are still fond of creating photo tours and whole virtual travels.
These photo tours provide an opportunity to take a walk near Taj Mahal , view Dubai from the world's tallest 800-meter skyscraper Burj Khalifa , for the whole of Paris with one of three viewing platforms Eiffel tower or travel to Mexico on the pyramids Chichen Itza ... There are unusual travel, for example, a descent into a salt mine similar to an underground palace in Wieliczka (Poland) or diving into the real underwater world in dozens of different places, for example, at Galapagos Islands.
To travel around Russia, take a look at RusMap.net (Google services are used) - this is an understandable and accessible service for those who often travel on business trips, like to travel, or are just going to hit the road. Regardless of the goal, Rusmap will make your trip as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
The "panorama" option allows you to take a virtual walk through the cities of Russia. Perhaps such an Internet journey will be the impetus to take a real one.
3. Google street view app
When traveling, I use the Street View application a lot. It is available for Android and iPhone. The application allows you to view many panoramas located on the world map.
There are also panoramas of users and panoramas of Google itself. The service is developing rapidly and the number of panoramas is increasing before our eyes.
I myself saw the fascinating process of creating a panorama on special equipment. But each of you will be able to add your own panoramas using your smartphone and obeying the commands of the application.
4. Yandex panoramas
Yandex is also actively developing its cartographic service, and on its maps you can look at the cities of Russia and the world from a bird's eye view. For example, fly over Palace Square in St. Petersburg or over the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir.
Yandex maps are, perhaps, more visual than Google, they have a panorama and map view mode at the same time.
5. Air Pano
A stunning project by another Russian team, Air Pano, is a rare occasion when professional enthusiasts create products at a level that was previously only controlled by wealthy Internet corporations. Spherical aerial panoramas or rather whole air tours of Air Pano will easily give odds to both Google and Yandex in terms of the beauty and quality of the footage.
Filming is being conducted from literally everything that can fly: from planes and balloons to airships and radio-controlled drones. Now the site has about 2000 panoramas from the most picturesque corners of the world. Here you can visit the island of Java on the Bromo volcano or see the Kremlin from the air from different angles, admire the northern lights in Iceland or admire one of the islands of Hawaii, visit the Jordanian Petra and even look inside the famous Treasury.
In addition, when viewing a panorama, you can switch to another camera by simply clicking on the helicopter symbol.
The panoramas are not only colorful, but also informative. Many have the names of visible objects.
6. Youtube 360 \u200b\u200bvideo files
Even more immersive and fully immersive 360-degree video. You can easily look to the right or left, for example by sailing past palaces in a boat in Venice.
You can search for 360-degree videos on Youtube, but you can also search on Air Pano.
7. Video travel on Vimeo
You will be surprised what miracles a good photographer can do with timelaps (slow motion). It's a great way to show even familiar places in a whole new light and inspire travel.
Excellent selections of such videos are collected at vimeo.com. Hundreds of videos make it possible to visit the most beautiful places planets. You can admire the golden pagodas of mysterious Myanmar, the northern beauty of Norwegian sunsets, romantic views of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, or other stunning shots from around the world.
Another global Google project is dedicated to art. It is called that: Art Project. The modest name hides an incredible exposition - tens of thousands of paintings from the best museums in the world. Moreover, each shot in such a high resolution that you can, for example, examine in detail each smear of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" or look into the eyes of the boyar Morozova Surikov.
Many museums kindly allowed to shoot not only their expositions, but also premises. And now you can, without getting up from your chair, stroll through the halls of the Hermitage or the Doge's Palace in Venice, or visit the Museum of the Athenian Acropolis.
If you are a creative person, then similar virtual excursions will save you time and money, and you will get no less aesthetic pleasure from works of art.
9. Webcam on the ISS
Are you fascinated by the unknown expanses of the Universe? Then watch live broadcasts from the webcam on the International Space Station. You will have the feeling that the camera is somewhere very close, and not 400 km from the surface of the planet.
The image slowly but surely changes throughout the day and you can personally see that our blue planet is in perfect order. However, it should be noted that the video is available only when there is a signal from the Earth, otherwise you will only see the splash screen. Sometimes the video shows the life of astronauts and their spacewalks.
