Getting started

Streetview pegman

Click on the yellow "pegman" at the top left and drag to a point on the map.

Streetview - blue locations

As you drag the pegman, solid blue lines appear on roads you can view. The blue boxes are generally off-road phots and views.

Release the pegman. The green directional disc momentarily appears and then the Street View launches.

Viewing the scenes

Advancing through the views

Drag inside the Street View to look around. To go to the next point, let the cursor hover on the road until a white circle appears. Click on this to advance a few yards.

To go back to just the Street View, click the arrow at the very bottom right of the map. This can be a bit tricky and doesn't work on all browsers. If this is the case, try refreshing the page.
