Neighborhood in Sapporo, Japan

Builder Maker  is a Google Earth, Google Maps And Google Aerial Imagery interface to help you create 3D models for Google Earth. But Now Google added  a Street View images to Google Builder Maker.

Six new cities  added to Building Maker:

Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Vienna, Austria
Pittsburgh, PA, United States
Santa Cruz, CA, United States
Riverside, CA, United States
