Added "Street View", a new function that allows you to see a map from the plan view on Google Maps

The other day Google got multiple domains that combined the word "Google street view" and tried to do something, which apparently seemed to be this "Street View".

This will be able to see not only on the map looked down on Google Maps, but also from the viewpoint actually standing on the road. Areas still providing pictures are limited, but will it become possible to see ruins and historical sites on the plane as this spreads?

Details are as follows.
