Google Maps has added street views of the greater Baltimore area. One thing I had never noticed before (I think it is new) is that if you click on the STREET VIEW button, the roads from which street view is available are marked in blue. This makes it easy to zoom out and get a sense of the coverage. See for example the street view coverage of the

• world
• US middle atlantic area
• UMBC neighborhood

You can see that the Google just did a quick drive-by of UMBC.

I also noticed that you can expand the street view to “full screen” and drive around interesting areas, like nearby main street in old ellicott city.
