As a Canadian who is at least a little bit addicted to the street view feature in Google Maps, it is quite cool to finally see it make it way to this side of the border. Currently, only a few of the major Canadian centres are covered (although they are covered extensively). These include Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Montreal, Quebec City and Halifax. The quality of the images is also top notch compared to some of the American counterparts (a good example is comparing the quality of images between Toronto and Las Vegas). For any Canadian urban enthusiast or arm-chair traveller, this gives them a chance to explore our country one click at a time.
