View Larger Map

You'll find an interactive map of Florence, Italy above, though you can't access the little yellow man from that map. So use the link below it "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, step into Florence, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.

Again, we are happy to mention that Google has given their okay for artists to use Street View as a reference for paintings that can then be sold without fear of copyright infringement.

Thank you to the Google Maps Team, the Google Street View Team, and all those involved. And thank you, artists, for participating.

NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

    Hi Bill, I just took full screen photos of my monitor and down loaded to photo shop - it worked better than I thought equal to street view

    I thought you might be interested in another way to capture the screen. If you have Picasa 3, open it , and then go to Googles Street View. When you find the scene you want, then "Print Screen" on your keyboard, and Picassa will put the image in a special folder.

    I'm having a great time looking at the paintings and then going back to the map and seeing the street view.
    Thanks for doing this Bill!
