This is your very own Google Street Map. If you’ve used Google Maps, you know how this works: Walk anywhere. See anything. Click the little box in the upper right-hand corner to blow the window up full screen. Feel free to stay as long as you like. If Google’s been there, you can go there too! But if you haven’t used Google Street Maps, just keep reading to find out how this page can take you just about anywhere you’d like to go on Planet Earth:

• Look at the map on the left. If you click and drag on it, it will move. Drag left, right, up or down until you see the country you want to visit. When you’ve got that country in view, click on the (+) button to zoom in on where you want to go. The (-) button will also zoom you out so you can see more of the map. Or you can just double-click on the map on top of wherever you want to zoom in. If you’re on a computer, a double right-click of your mouse will zoom out. You can also hold down the Ctrl key (PC) or the Command key (Mac) and roll the middle mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the map.

• When you’re zoomed in close enough to see the streets, click and drag on the white box above the (+) and (-) buttons. A little gold man will come out.

• Drag the little gold man on top of the street you want to go to, and drop him. There’s a circle under him. That’s the hotspot. Put the circle on the street or intersection and it will drop you more precisely.

• When you drop the little man, the place you selected will appear in the big window. Arrows will appear on the streets, showing which way you can walk. Just click the arrows and you can go anywhere the Google cameras have photographed! Or you can double-click on the street instead of the arrows.

• Use the joystick on your controller or roll the middle mouse button back and forth to zoom in and out. Or you can click the (+) or (-) buttons on the big window to zoom. Click and drag left and right in the big window to turn, or use the Rotate compass above the (+) and (-) buttons.
