Default Re: Toronto is now on GOOGLE Street view !

There we were being so busy considering Toronto and Montreal that that the other major Ontarian city indeed Canada's capital was being overlooked yes Ottawa too has streetviews now
I tested it by checking on the Folk Music Walk Of Fame where Mr Jones so memorably posed in front of Gord's Mural a while ago sure enough having ascertained that it was on a building at the junction of Bank and Sunnyside I was able to home in on the mural

Sadly the Google camera has presumably yet to venture north to Orillia so no Opera House streetviews yet (actually not even a "satelite" view just a plain jane map)
As you might have noticed I greatly enjoy making screenshots
I noted that Char, if I am not mistaken had had to resort to printing a view from the webpage then presumably scanning her print.
It is for people like her who might like to make their own screenshots that I have at very long last completed and uploaded a fully illustrated tutorial on the subject.
Perhaps a few of you (Char especially) could take a look at it and tell me if you can understand it and in particular Char the vocabulary that I was obliged to use and better still make and display a few screenshots yourself
(all my streetview pix were made using the freeware Gadwin Printscreen as described in my tutorial at):-
