[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.

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

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

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.
