I have just found a web site which makes it much easier to use the new "Street View" feature of Google Maps. Even if Street View is a marvelous add-on to Google Maps, I found the interface and controls it a bit too unintuitive. MapJack makes the thing much easier. A nice add on is that it seems to pre-fetch the images, so you the experience to run around the city is much more enjoyable.  The only supported city at the moment is San Francisco. Have fun!

A few days ago Google launched a new feature for the already marvelous Google Maps : Street View.
Have a look to this YouTube presentation:

The "walkable" cities are at the moment San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Denver and Miami, but the list will be extended soon. Take a look at this page, and start walking in Vegas!
