[Gocamino] [saintjames] Google and the Camino

[Grant Spangler]

Rosina,

Pulse aqui:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.880460,-8.545760&ll=42.880460,-8.545760

That will take you dead center of Praza do Obradoiro in Santiago. The green arrow in center of the square is the location I have provided you. Use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in. 

Alternately keep zooming in on the scale on the upper left of the map, or take the little yellow man on the top of that scale and drag him to the center of the square. Voila: Street View. Now use your mouse to navigate: click and drag the scenery around, you have a 360 view of the square. You can "walk" by following the white "paths" available on the screen. Click on a white forward arrow to walk that direction. Now you can wander the backstreets of the Casco Viejo from the comfort of your home. Any place you see a blue street outline as you drag the little yellow man to the map will have "Street View" available.

Buen Camino, 
 
Grant

> "Google Street View is advancing its coverage of Spanish territory. The photo map service offered by Google has covered most areas of Spain, bringing Spain to the top 2 position of countries most photographed by Google, behind the United States.
> Google has included the Camino de Santiago in its Street View application, enabling visitors to follow the path from Auritz to Finisterre."

> What is Google Street and how does one access it?
