How to use Street View on Google Maps

We asked Dermot & Dave to make a little video tutorial of how to use Street View on Google Maps in their own inimitable way. For more detailed instructions, click here.

Handy Tip - when trying to find the answers, we recommend zooming in on areas rather than using the search bar of Google Maps. Not all of the clue locations will come up when using the search option.
