Very cool feature, although I noticed that lots of people confuse it with real travel, and make stories about their travel "experiences" in foreign countries

When you don't have the money to travel, you have to be creative, sometimes, deceive yourself purposely.
All the time, I've found small beautiful towns and areas otherwise I wouldn't be able to know what they look like in places like Czechia, Romania, Greece, Latin America, Albania, Montenegro, Portugal, Gibraltar, Melbourne, NY, etc. It's a wonderful way to "travel" to far-away places.
I especially check how the regular neighborhoods look like as that says a lot... but also the fancier parts of the cities, that says a lot too. I was surprised how many Western European wealthy districts look modest by comparison with the wealthy neighborhoods in some parts of Eastern Europe. I was also surpsied that commie flats in Tallinn and Vilnius look just like ours in Sofia!
It also saves me money by preventing me from traveling to places that look like northing special or too drab for my taste.
I sometimes do - like to look at remote places. Some don't have Street View just sphere or regular photos.
Yandex has some amazing photos, street views, and panoramas taken from balloons too.
And amazing real time, very detailed public transportation maps and schedules. I don't think anyone else has such maps.
Very detailed.
They used to have same transportation map in Manhattan, but due to inactivity during Covid they stopped the live view.
Now you can only see the stations but no real time actual movements and no schedules.
Although, I see they started updating the schedules
To answer first to thread title: Yes, of course, many times
But I prefer web sites where you get random street view location without drag n dropping icon.
a found a classic car parked on a residenti[al street in a town in Mexico. As I recall. about a '59 Plymouth -- looked like a driver, glass, tires good.
