[Closed] PSA: Google Maps Streetview expanded across the country!

wow, excellent coverage now!

They even went down 2/3 of the Old Guildford road in pirbright which is a muddy track. Evidentidly stopped and did a 3 pt turn when they came across one of the 'pits'.

You can tour all the roads round Snowndon etc now! I love street view!

Yay, famous! Me and my bro caught on camera 🙂

Blimey! I'm suprised to see how extensive the coverage is. Didn't think they'd pass my place.

that is brilliant! Has the res gone up and possibly speedyness of the streetview? Seems much slicker than it used to be.

My house is on it now... down a dead ended country lane.

What is the point?

yeah great fun - I can see my STW award in my front window 🙂

For one thing, you don't need to listen to estate agents anymore - you can find out if the area is 'up and coming'.

Hmm.. got most of my village but oddly chose to miss my street out 🙁

But I do make an appearance near my work in Dunfermline, walking to Tescos for my lunch 🙂

The photo for our street was taken Aug/Sept last year? How do I know?? The banners saying congrats on having a baby 😆 Shame it shows our crap old windows though.

Logo/ Valve allignment fail.

So, who's found any naked people in windows?

I am trying to work out who is parked on my drive! 😯

😉

Some really random places they've driven to!

My street was driven down on the 7th July - there's a newsagent on the end of the street, so I searched the local paper's website for the story on the board outside.

watch out Columbo, you've got competition

Heh, but not half the locations in Derbyshire that we're looking to move to (Belper area)

wierd car parked on my parents drive.

i wonder which one is having the affair?

Interesting timing! I have just seen a google car go throught he centre of Edinburgh, and have already been streetviewed. The only problem is i was sat in a cafe having a beer on my lunchbreak... how long do they take to upload the images?

how long do they take to upload the images?

About 6 months from when I saw the one that filmed me, the pic of my house is slightly before that.

it's wierd to be in cyberspace!

And they've got my address very wrong.

How is it you get the image of your house blurred again?

Images of my flat are well over 12 months old.

How is it you get the image of your house blurred again?

Never really understood why people want to do this, unless you can be seen through the windows having it away with your neighbour's wife or something...?

I'm not really worried whether you understand or not Graham, just wondering how you do it.

You should cover it in tracing paper so that people walking by can't see it clearly either:D

Weird - are you sure - it has my road (an unadopted, very bumpy old road), and seems to have loads of little places like Shottle, Carsington, Blackbrook etc. done pretty thoroughly. Where is it that you can't find?

Joe

Crich and a couple of others on that side of the A6. Nice flagstone road by the way 🙂

fantastic, there is a nice pic of my 'builders arse' changing the brake pads on my car in Belper.

Just found a mistake...have reported it so wonder how long it will take to fix?!

Me , at work, actually working. Spotted by the eagle eyed Dezmeister. Saw the van pull in and do a circuit of the yard, I thought they were just turning round.

Joe - are you riding side-saddle or do you have two right legs! 😉

Most surprising place I've found is my son's nursery which is on a farm at the end of a fairly rough track - they drove right into the farmyard to turn round, and you can see the front door of the nursery which is tucked right round the corner.

Bassspine - There is a ghost in your bottom right window

colnagokid - are you carrying a red handbag????

I wonder how many people are gonna get busted for being in the wrong place at the wrong time (well their cars anyway!)

Years ago a workmate asked for a day off work to watch a golf final. They said no - we were too busy, so he phoned in sick. That night he was on the evening news, front row of the crowd around the 18th hole. Muppet.

🙂

I'll be asking my wife and my best mate what his car was doing outside my house when I was at work!!

No sh*t...... really?

Cheesyfeet, I wish I was! Its a wilkinsons carrier (the shame 😯 )

Having re-read the thread, I thought I'd give it a go.
and...
* This is amazing....*
I've clicked on google maps, clicked on the man icon and viewed our house.
.....and noticed my bike on the stand outside the garage
....and a blue 'thing' in the garden.
I moved into the next shot where it looks over the garden wall.
and enlarged.....
It's me straight after a ride, wiping my boots off on the grass!!!!!!!!!!

There see, I *do* get out for a ride!

yours somewhat gob-smacked
Q

The seem to have avoided most of Kelsall in Cheshire for some reason.

Ok, ok so ive just found my old van outside someone elses house...... sshhh dont tell the missus!

This could go terribly wrong!

Hmmmm.... after the euphoria of last night ( I'm easily pleased! ) I've started wondering.....
so now, on the web, is a picture of me and bike, and garage location.
Might this become a new resource for the tea leaf intent on bike and other theft????
every cloud has a lead lining!
