Remember PegMan? You know, the cool little guy that helps you navigate around Google maps? Well, google has brought back pegman (did you notice he was gone?) . Recall, he’s the little yellow guy that would drag onto a street map in order to gain access to Google Street View imagery. In addition to the return of pegman Google maps is also offering a host of new features like photo spheres (think 360 degree imagery) , Earth Tours (stunning 3D imagery of buildings), and more. See more about the latest updates in this blog post on slashgear or see the google maps blog for more .
