Google Maps To Add “Google Store Views”

I received a tip from a New York retailer named Oh Nuts, that Google came to their store to take pictures for a new Google Maps product named “Google Store Views.” I was told that they took pictures of the inside of the store, every 6 feet, in all directions. They also took pictures of products.
Google Store Views will allow people to essentially walk into the store, off of Google Street Views. So imagine you are looking at this store, and then you can click on the door to enter it, all on Google Maps. Then when you enter the store, you can wall through it.

I wonder if this will make it easier for robbers to case stores before they rob them.

On my free time I love yoga, meditation, hiking, reading books that challenge my way of thinking, and advising companies. I am currently an advisor to Watt and Fauvre Research

Here I post thoughts, quotes, and images that strike my fancy.
