Say what Street View shows
See a photograph of a place before you arrive.
Street View shows photographs taken from a car as it drove past. You can turn and look around.
They are months or years old. Nobody is watching, and nothing on screen is happening now.
Key points
- Street View is photographs taken from a passing car
- They show the past, never the present
What to remember
- Seeing the entrance first takes the worry out of arriving.
- Street View is a photograph with a date on it.
