Anyone else noticed that google now has a neat new three domination view that is interactive with you. You can control where you go and what you see “inside” the restaurant. I always enjoyed using this feature for “on the street” views but now it’s “inside some restaurants”. The link below is of CIBO in Phoenix that has wonderful pizza.


cibo - Google Maps


After clicking the link for a map view, click picture to the right of the first map PIN A review. It should open onto another page with yet the 3D view of the inside and allows you to move any direction while walking around inside the old house.

Very interesting feature that google has provided. Now I hope to see it on more restaurants in the area.

Thanks, that is very interesting & I am going to use it right away. I love going into virtual buildings, only these are real places.

Yep, I've used this quite a bit! Didn't know about the virtual indoor views! It's all amazing to me!

I was amazed when I stumbled onto this new feature. It could have been there for a while and I missed it, but it was earlier this week that I first noticed the “inside” view. I saw the little > icons on the floor and so I clicked it and sure enough I moved forward into the next room. Then tried the rotation thing and I could turn around to view all 360 degrees. I didn’t try getting into the kitchen yet,,,,, lol that might be an issue. Clicking the > or < and using the rotation item at the top of the view to turn works that same as if you were on one of the streets that they allow “street views” to happen.

Awsome Aks. That's very cool. You can even go into different rooms inside the place. Zoom in and out. Nice information.

While looking at another favorite place of Mrs Aks,,,,, I found that P.F. Chang's in Scottsdale also has a view of the inside and you can walk around to see what the place is like. Simply google the name and click on the picture of the restaurant to open up the side view.


(interestingly I can not enter a "link" for this one, it keeps adding the other CIBO link instead of P.F.Chang's. ~ I don't understand that problem?)
