Kinda cool but creepy at the same time.

That is sweet, but I don't like the fact that i can actually zoom in on my own address plate on my mailbox.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who didn't know about it.

The folks at jalopnik have found 3 or 4 crashes caught on Street View cameras. Pretty funny.

I'm sure my great grand father didn't know about it... but he's been dead for 6 or so years.

i checked out a lot of locations across the country last night, just out of curiosity. when i checked out my own neighborhood, i was able to angle the picture down towards the street and see a car underneath with all kinds of equipment in the rear windshield, so i imagine its all recorded with gps and a new picture is taken every few seconds. pretty sweet.

How the hell did you do that?

I couldn't' get that to do it on my location...

DoubleOughtCel · 02-14-2008, 01:04 PM

It wasn't in every location I looked at either. In fact, the only place I did see it was in Bensalem.

HatchSurfer3 · 02-14-2008, 01:55 PM

i've actually seen this car go by while i was on ccp's campus. its some old sedan with a bunch of equipment tied up to the roof including 4 camera's facing each direction. this must have cost a whole lot to pay for equipment, gas for all these cars to drive all over the US, and the people needed for such a project.

Chris215 · 02-14-2008, 02:45 PM

oh wow, I can see my car haha

den9 · 02-14-2008, 05:58 PM

deb38 · 02-14-2008, 06:02 PM

I park my car in the same spot and constantly keep tabs on it... its my own security camera = )

Drftpretty · 02-14-2008, 08:14 PM

I vote badass. Too bad I dont have flash 9 on my work comp so I cant actually view anything lol.

1988 Olds · 02-15-2008, 12:00 AM
