Just noticed it is now active for most of LEEDS.You have to tick the box under.. Layers..Primary Database..street view.I have seen the Google cars, with the roof cameras driving about. P.S. Google Earth of course. P.P.S. Does not look as if they have been entered beyond the Ring Road yet.

Breat me to it!You can also drag the little man on top of the zoom in/out bar to the street you want to go down.I can't get him to lean over the parapet of Leeds Bridge to show you the possible outfalls for the Swinegate Goit!

Only inside the Bradford and Leeds ring roads so far. In maps.google.co.uk, drag the orange figure above the navigation bar onto the map, wait while it receives data and it will pop up the nearest picture, or turn grey if there isn't any. In addition the streets that are covered are coloured blue when you drag the figure to the map.
