Google street view is a service showing real photos of the street. But you have to wait until google makes for you.
However, this Street Around will be made by users all around the world. So you don’t need to wait until google comes to your country or area with google-camera-vehicles.
Anybody who have a digital camera (it doesn’t need to be DSLR or some high-spec camera) can participate to make this world street maps. Also because of this, street can be updated faster.
You also will be able to add store/businesse information on the photo street. So you will know which stores are on the street.
You don’t need to type to search something you don’t even know. Just scroll the photo street then you will see stores/businesses on it. This site will be the new style of a local search. Until now in all maps or local search site, you have to type something and search. But in this site, you can just see around and select what you want.
Now the site is opened for a preview. You can see some streets in New York, Philadelphia, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.
