"Microsoft has added an experimental feature to its mapping service Windows Live Local (http://preview.local.live.com/) that lets you explore the streets of both San Francisco and Seattle by driving around in a virtual sports car. The view is pretty good, as the images are based on real photos.
Now, this is sure to appeal to fans of the Steve McQueen classic 'Bullitt (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062765/)', which features some awesome car chases around up and down the streets of San Francisco. But be warned, the user interface is less than smooth and occasionally you end up travelling along streets backwards or even sideways.'
