Google street view in Andover

(Small) portions on Andover are now available on Google street view. This is a feature of Google maps that allows to view pictures at street level. These pictures are taken by a special car roaming the streets.

To see the pictures, click on this link to view the map. Then click, hold and drag the orange man onto the map. The streets highlighted in blue (wait a few seconds) have street view pictures. Drop the orange man where you want to see pictures.

Street view did not come all the way to the lake. But, interestingly, the picture car appears to have stopped at both gas stations on Route 6. At the time of the visit, regular gas was $3.87 at the 7-Eleven, and $3.something at the Xtra station. Google shopping for the cheaper gas?
