FOLLOW THE PEGMAN

You may ask yourselves, What  or who is a pegman? It looks rather like a clothes peg, the old-fashioned wooden kind of peg people used to attach their washing to the clothes line. But this pegman refers to a new application Google maps is setting up, available in only a few countries at the moment. It is called Street View, and it permits you to virtually sit on the street wherever you want in the world.

Below is a short video explaining how it works. If you click on the link, you'll be taken to a site which gives your more information.
