Barriers on Armstrong Bridge mean the Google Street View camera car has to come to a grinding halt. This means there’s no way of taking a virtual journey across the bridge on your computer, tablet or smartphone. Until now, that is.
The webmaster for Jesmonddene.org.uk has linked together a number of 360-degree “sphere” photos and, by clicking forwards or backwards in the usual Street View manner, you can now access Armstrong Bridge from the comfort of your connectivity package, spinning your point-of-view to your heart’s content.
In the fullness of time these spheres will become a seamless part of Google Street View.
