Here is the Rathausplatz in Augsburg, Germany. The Rathaus is on the right of the view with the church-like Perlachturm to the left in the background. There is sometimes a market in the square. Trams on routes 1 and 2 cross far side of the square, those of route 1 turning into and out of the narrow street immediately to the left of the Perlachturm.

On the top floor of the Hotel Mercure in the centre of Chemnitz, Germany, is this camera giving a panoramic view. A series of small images are shown and clicking on them repositions the camera to give that view. Below the small images is the actual scene from the camera. If your computer supports ActiveX, this main view is automatically updated. There is also an option to individually control the camera position, but we found this rather unresponsive. Trams can be seen in several locations. Try "Sparkassengebäude am Falkeplatz" or "Hartmannstr. / Theaterstr. ('Gleisdreieck')". Again heavy site usage can slow the updating and may redirect the camera before you see your selection. The camera has sometimes been off-line.
