Just saw a Google Big Brother car

[rhikdavis]

Going up my street. Had a camera mounted on a bout a 7 foot tripod on the roof....

If you see a guy in Michigan, standing out in his yard in the pre-stages of sunstroke..that'll be me..

[jbutenhoff]

I was shocked to see my town was already done in Iowa!

The funny part is that I found another town that the car went through, it must have had a population of 10 and the roads were dirt!

Do a Google map search for Berkley, IA. The car HAD to be lost to get that one!

If one of those comes in my neighborhood, I'm going to moon it.

When I saw the title of the thread, this is the idea I had.

I hope they don't come early morning or late evening. I want full lighting, for my full moon.

Dammit, it's late, there are 5 parts!!

[UTKEngineer]

Part III is my favorite.


ETA: Correction IV is now my favorite :)

Yeah, sadly part 5 isn't out yet, but based on what it's about "Google Mobile" I have to believe it'll be good.

Parts 1 to 3 are great.

One I took in Alghieri, Italy:

This is something I've never heard of. Who does this driving around with cameras? How do you pull up these pictures of your town's streets?

Wouldn't that be like showing them the dark side of the moon?

Just to to Google Maps and select "Street View" - all roads with a blue tint got sent up the bomb. Cool stuff.

[PBCounty]

These fruit monkeys passed my street up - guess they don't go down dead-end dirt roads. I just wanted a little piece of the light for myself....my own little fifteen in the sun.

One way is to go to Google home page. Click on google maps, do a search for your home address or any other address you want. When the map comes up, click on street view.

Stuff like this makes me wish for a RPG-7 airsoft rocket launcher.


Wolverines!

[ScarFace88]

They got my best friend's house but not mine... I guess they the driver didn't want to go down Stupid Trail... {The name of the street I live on translates to stupid in Spanish}

[Smashy]

I guess there isn't much of this that's been done yet? I tried some big cities (my little town of 5,500 is just a speck)... San Jose, CA showed everything has been done, as did Salem, OR, but Seattle showed nothing.

We're still not important enough.

If it was anything like the job I had checking streets for a GPS company, just regular people collecting a paycheck.

And if it's anything like the job I had, it's pretty cool since you just drive around all over the place. I got to go to Canada...:)
