My hands get prickly when I think about some of the places that could get the Street View treatment: Marrakech, Morocco; Venezia, Italy; the Great Pyramids; heck, even the sewers of Paris.

I need never leave my chair again!

Though, in fact, wandering through virtual Pompeii makes me really want to go back to Pompeii.

Street view is great for reliving your holiday and correctly sorting all those photos you took - a perfect memory aid. Also: (exact) post hoc GPS tagging.

Yeah, I've been curious about Venice for a while. That would be cool in so many ways.

I don't think the google van would fit in most of the streets in Venice, and the van is too big to fit on a gondola :)

Venice is beautiful. I was just there on September.

Exactly - they'd have to create something just for Venice, by putting their gear onto the right kind of boat. Which is one of the ways that it would be cool.
