Google Maps Has Overdone It... - 02.09.2009, 05:42 PM

You guys have to see this... Go to google maps, type in your address, when you can see a birds eye view of your neigborhood in satelite view drag the orange stick figure from ontop of the zoom scroller and place it onto your street or house. It gets a ground view image of your house and your neighbors. Really inprivate in my opinion.

"doesnt work on all neighborhoods"

It's called Google Street View, they initially added large metropolitan areas and over time have been adding smaller and smaller areas. You should check out the websites with lists of the funniest street view things like people looting, etc. http://www.streetviewfun.com/

I've looked at mine - using the google earth software. I wonder how much its costing them to drive the car around with the camera.

Bleh, I remember people complaining about this a year or two ago when they first had it. But seriously, its not like its live and nobodys seeing anything that they couldn't see by driving by your house.

If you go down the side street (guzman) 2 blocks you can see the large grass area I play on. And 1 block down 3rd st is the baseball field. Great place to play in the 6 or so blocks. Nothing going on there on a sat afternoon, except for screeming brushless motors!

Downes Collision Center? The sign is hard to read... That's pretty cool.

One day we will be able to be a person and walk around in these maps... Oh shit that would be sooo cool. Or maybe a shooting game on real maps...
