This handy Google Maps application is just what you need if you want to share the Street View image of a location with your friends.
ShowMyStreet uses instant search to portray the Street View of a typed location. Like Google's Instant Search ShowMyStreet predicts as you type to show you the Street View of the current best guess. For example, if you want the Street View of Mission Street in San Francisco, the suggested locations go through a few permutations (e.g. Mission Viejo) until ShowMyStreet guesses correctly at 'Mission S'.
Once you have the correct Street View you can then share the location via Twitter and Facebook or e-mail the short URL. If a Street View isn't available for your current location you can share the satellite image of the location instead.
I can see myself using this map quite a bit from my mobile phone to share the Street View of my current location with friends.

How do I contact showmystreet.com to have them correct an address. I live in Garrybawn, TOM BELLEW AVENUE, Dundalk, Co. Louth and they have the address incorrectly listed as "Garrybawn, Muirhevnamore, Dundalk". This is so annoying. Also, Seafield Lawns, Avenue Road is also incorrectly listed as Muirhevnamore. Muirhevnamore is an old and run down council housing estate which was built in the 60s/70s, not a private estate. It's got totally nothing to do with our addresses - one pissed off viewer who is spreading the word among others!
