I was taking a look at some caches found this week by OnD'Hunt in New York City. For grins I decided to look at the Google Streetview for THIS ONE
I moved down the street a little bit in streetview and noticed arrows heading onto the sidewalk. I followed them and they eventually led inside a nearby restaurant and actually went upstairs.
This cool eature may not be news but it was certainly news to me.

Re: Google Maps detail
There is a building on Main St. in BG that you can "walk through" on Google Maps. I forget off the top of my head which one - maybe Grounds for Thought or Ben Franklin? Something in that area, and on the west side of Main. Of course, now that I'm looking for it I can't find it.

This is the coolest one of all these things.
Just follow the double-arrows.
Let us know if you see K-9 in there.

Re: Google Maps detail
Noticed two things today:
1) this feature no longer works on iPhones
2) the restaurant in BG that you can walk into is SamB's *across* from Ben Franklin's

You can go inside Balance Grill in Arrowhead Park in Maumee. I will have to figure out how to get this done for some of my tenants!
I am an amazed cacher!

I found this 7 minute video that goes into details of how the mapping and photography works.

Google Earth posted new Sat Maps for Wauseon recently. My kids are out riding their bikes on the sidewalk at my parents place.

Re: Google Maps detail
If you enjoy seeing people returning from a DNF, then you can see us after we DNFed:

If you google street view N 41° 09.400 W 101° 07.730 and look towards the pedestrian bridge, you can see our walk of shame.
Swing to the east and you can see our little red geomobile.
Can't see Mina in it though. She knew this one would be a bust & didn't get out.
