Google has put together a "street view" map of the 2008 Tour stages. Street view in Europe is new. It has been available in some US cities. It is very cool.

Street view is an actual view from street level in full color of the place you click on. It is the view you'd have when "walking" the street or road. You see a 360 degree view.

Find the TdF stage map here. You can find help in using street view here.

For those doing stage previews on PdC it is possible to embed the street view map into a web page. For instructions on embedding maps click here.

I am trying to reach 75 words. Anything else I can include?

Everyone celebrating - have a safe Fourth of July and drive sober! <-- very important
