Streetview of Google earth is a nice facility to get a feel of location. Also nice would be all-around 360 degree view from
1. terraces/roof of some of tall buildings in the downtown.
2. Famous places such as Panama canal or Taj Mahal which are not exactly ON streets, hence there is no street
view for those.
Right now StreetView covers only views from streets, but all it should also cover insides of famous natural or manmade places, such as museums, palaces, forts etc.

You can see the shadow of the camera equipment on a tree. [Canuck, Jan 29 2011]

Must be difficult to get those cars into the elevator. |

Luckily it's the future now, so we have flying cars. |

while we are composing wish lists, put me down for Johnny Depp. |

Whereas a view from the top of a high building seems superfluous to me, i agree that views away from roads would be very useful and could be achieved in various ways, such as cameras on trains. Also, for once this is an application for a HOVERCRAFT, so yes please! |

Actually, this is baked - Stonehenge is on Google Streetview despite being not exactly on a street. It's quite well done - you can move your viewpoint between the stones, or stand in the middle of the ring of stones and look around. |

This alreafy exists. I just don't have time to find an
example so you'll have to take my word for it. |

I have seen some images the folks at Google have done on a few of the biking paths around Stanley Park in Vancouver. |
|
| |
You can tell by the shadows in the shots they had the camera assembly mounted on a small bike trailer (I was a little disappointed it wasn't a helmet-cam, but that's just me!) so there was no need to run a car amongst the cyclists. And speaking of cyclists, it's funny to see all the little kids on their bikes crowding around the camera in some shots. |

Goofle hedgerow would be good, they could pay farmers to mount the dooberies on the rooves of their tractors, as they drive up and down their fields. |

Baked. Bing maps (and a few other providers) has this.. it's called the "Bird's Eye View" |
|
| |
I think Google maps could be improved if
they overlayed satellite images with
topographical data. This would make birds
eye view on apps like Navigator look much
better. |
