We\u2019ve used Google Maps\u2019 Street View (GSV) to look at our houses, our jobs, and to cyber stalk the places we used to live. I\u2019ve seen the since-wrecked pick-up I used to own parked outside job sites with a twinge of loss. I use Street View to see what kinds of venues bands are playing at, so I don\u2019t walk past them. It\u2019s become a ubiquitous tool. And like all tools on the internet, it doesn\u2019t just get used, it gets played with. Of course, this doesn\u2019t always thrill the Great Omnipotent Google, who shut down the more questionable and violent adaptations<\/a> of its data. So, we present five cool, and decidedly non-violent, non-standards uses for Google Street View.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Big Time BCN is an interactive map of Barcelona that highlights the age of urban plots contrasted with the city’s architectural heritage. The darker the building, the older it is. Like many European cities, Barcelona has some 2,000 years of architectural history to visualize.<\/p>\n This is a big tease on our part though and has to be left off of our list, as it doesn\u2019t (yet) incorporate Google Street View. Play with the website<\/a> and the Android app<\/a> in the meantime. Similarly, take a look at old Milwaukee<\/a> and completely unconnected, this little stunt in a corner of Pittsburgh\u2019s 408 Sampsonia Way<\/a> from 2008.<\/p>\nBarcelona\u2019s Big Time BCN<\/h3>\n
