 * Optional:** In streetview, you can "walk" through the streets getting a 3D view of the landmarks around you. Streetview is not available in every country or city. You may want to check it out before you ask your students to use streetview. It is more difficult to give and follow directions in streetview. Giving directions this way may be more appropriate for advanced students.
