What a great idea!
An Artist uses Google Street View.
This short video featuring Kentucky Painter Bill Guffey is part of an interview recorded in August 2009 at the Gallery at 916. It very quickly covers the aspect of using Google Street View technology to travel the world virtually in search of artistic reference.
One of the main thoughts behind the process is to aid those artists with physical and mental disabilities which limit their ability to get outside and paint.
Recorded by WKYU PBS television station in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Good Morning Gloucester 
What a cool idea! And doubly-cool that Google approved the use of GoogleMaps for such a purpose.

Hey! Thanks for the mention here on your blog. I’ve been running a Virtual Paintout using Street View for over three years now. Artists from all over the world participate every month. Hopefully, one day I’ll get to Gloucester to paint in person.
