I'm guessing that's what the new 'street view' thing does? Looks cool!
Says it's not available for my house or street though

Probably because you're IP19, so a little way out.
Our work address is NR9 and thats not on there yet.

Just above the zoom in/out part, there is a little 'man' that you can drag down onto the map view to take you to the street. If he can't be dragged, it's because it's not available in that area yet.

if you think the new 2008 maps are cool then you have seen fook all like this..
major citys are being put on now in the uk, you can actually wander about at STREET level with 360 degree view (click and hold and move mouse around) of the place.
below is a road in york looking at the minister. you can zoom in/out and navigate around by clicking the white arrows. on the road which ever way you want to go..
http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll...54017857142876
amazing and scary...
edit..
if you zoom out on the normal google map so the uk is in view then there is a icon of a man on the left above the +/- slider drag him into the map and anywhere that the roads light up blue you can put him and do street level..

I saw one too, an MPV went down my mate's road, turned round and went back up again! Had loads of cameras and dishes on the roof! How do I make it so it does the street view? I can only get the birds eye view to work?
