With 2009 quickly coming to a close, we at MapQuest have a few more tricks up our sleeve before we all ring-in the New Year. One surprise that we are particularly excited about is our new '360 View'. That's right, street-level imagery has come to MapQuest.com, just in time for the holidays!
What is 360 View?
As the name implies, 360� view provides fantastic panoramic views (360� horizontally and 160� vertically) of any given image within the 360 View coverage area (initially 30 cities and 15 13 suburbs across the United States with more to come). We have studied our industry, gleaning tidbits here and there, and polled our customer base in creating a simple, easy-to-use interface that fits seamlessly into the MapQuest mapping experience you have come to know and understand. Best of all, MapQuest 360 View 'just works' without requiring any non-standard 3rd party player downloads."
