Local Live - Street Level

The Virtual Earth team has released a preview of a new street-level view map view. First it was the bird's eye imagery, now it's street level. Awesome. Keep in mind that this is just a preview. You can play with downtown Seattle and San Fransisco in the preview which is available at http://preview.local.live.com.

I'm interested to see how many cities they are actually going to do street-level photography for.

I wish when you were scrolling around and using the interface, it would only let you move your view to positions where there is imagery available.

Update: They anticipated request, it appears you just need to hold shift to lock yourself onto the street. The Virtual Earth blog has more.
