Anyone else addicted to Google Street View?

Post Reply New Topic

Richard I saw one of those vans too though its been over a year. I saw it somewhere between Cottonwood and Sedona and it had the camera thing on top though when I first glanced it I thought it was a rotating gun.

I was telling my dad yesterday about the Google maps and he informed me that India is claiming the maps helped the bombers plan the hotel attack a few weeks ago. Did anyone else hear this?

My boyfriend also saw one last year. It was near our place he said.

Oh okay. I thought she was joking or something. Why would a car have a rotating gun? That comment just shocked if she was serious.


Great site but I can't get two pictures to show when I clicked on my city so I had to click on "view larger map" to see it. I didn't see anything interesting for my city anyway.

Google Street View has come to the UK. In the past week, Google Street View was added for 25 UK cities, including Edinburgh. In due course all of the UK probably down to rural roads will be added.

The first thing I did was looked at the streets I am likely to have been to see if I'm pictured anywhere. As far as I can see, I'm not. As much as I like having the Street View coverage for places, I would have asked to be removed if I was pictured. But in looking at the streets surrounding my workplace it only took a couple of minutes to find two people I know.

I just plotted a route around Edinburgh and followed it on Street View. I tried to imagine being there as if I'd never been before. I followed a route in from the airport (as if I was a visitor) to the city centre, then a circular route around the city. In that situation I think my impression would have been very favourable for the most part, especially when following the route into town from the airport.

Websites have highlighted a picture from a major Edinburgh city centre street where a man angrily gave a V-sign to the Google car. I passed this on my virtual Street View tour, too, but missed it (as I went as far as the line of sight ended each time, rather than clicking every single frame).

Street view is win.

I've been looking at Spokane on it.

I have been cruising up the Pacific Coast Highway on it.

it's great,sister spotted her ex clients on it,not sure if it's a problem for them,but they were stood in the grounds of their group home [for MH problems].

cant wait till it gets most streets on,didnt know it had been out long,uk always last.

Wow a user here seems to have a fascination with Lucedale, Mississippi. Just to let you know I'm originally from there. It's redneck hell. Why Wolcott, Indiana? I've been looking at towns, cities and routes in the UK, and one city there strikes me as looking particularly pseudo-American if you like.
