PEOPLE in Worcester can now view their street from their computer as Google's street-level imaging service has been extended to cover more than 95 per cent of UK roads.
Google's Street View service had been available in 25 cities since last March, but the increased coverage makes an additional 210,000 miles of detailed mapping public.
Google's cars, fitted with a special panoramic camera on the roof, have been spotted out and about in Worcester over the past year.
Street View images of pedestrianised areas are shot using special tricycles.
Street View has prompted some concerns about privacy issues.
You can find Google Street Maps here.
