Top 10 Street View tips for everyday use

  1. Explore parts of Australia you've always wanted to visit, from tourist attractions, CBDs to the most remote areas.
  2. Preview your holiday accommodation and see how close it is to the beach and transport.
  3. Show your overseas or interstate friends and family where you live and work.
  4. Walk the streets and find that amazing restaurant you forgot the name of. Use driving directions with Street View images of intersections and landmarks to get there.
  5. Study the geography, vegetation and landscape of different parts of the continent, from the tropical north to the dusty outback.
  6. Show party guests where the venue is, or teammates where the weekend sportsground is.
  7. Looking to buy or rent a property? Take a virtual walk-through of the area to check amenities. Save time by not going to open houses that don't meet your criteria.
  8. Share recommendations with friends about places to stay and how to get there.
  9. Search for buildings which provide wheelchair access.
  10. Arrange meeting spots with friends, or just familiarise yourself with a new city or a new part of town you're visiting.
