LIVERPOOL has joined a select group of world cities as Google’s Street View service becomes available to internet users.
Street View, which allows people to look up streets on Googlemap and then watch and manipulate photos of them on their computer screens, launched in American cities such as San Francisco, New York and Las Vegas, in 2007.
Drivers in vehicles topped with 360 degree cameras have spent the last few years driving around Britain taking pictures of 22,369 miles-worth of roads, and now Liverpool, London, Leeds, and Manchester, along with 20 other UK cities, have become viewable.
Tens of millions of images have used software to blur the faces of passers-by.
