PeekaCity Adds Google's Street View

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 24, 2008 -- Peekacity.com, Chicago's leader in web-based amenity mapping software for the real estate industry, is the first real estate amenity mapping software to add Google's Street View. Agents and online real estate consumers now have the ability to view street level photos of properties. They may zoom in for detail and "virtually" drive up and down the street to visualize the surrounding homes and the neighborhood. By simply clicking on the amenity or property and selecting "Open" next to the "Street View" tag, the Street View of the selected object will be displayed. Users navigate around the area using their mouse within the display.

The European Union agrees with the latter folks, and feels strongly that Google Street View—as implemented now in the US—would be a violation of EU privacy laws. That's why the organization reminded Google this week to respect local privacy laws once Street View makes its jump across the pond.
