google maps street view

Posted by Don McKenzie on August 4, 2008, 4:57 pm

new today:

goto google maps:
http://maps.google.com/
type in your house address

if you are in a reasonably well trodden area:
click on street view, and with the arrows in the photograph, you can
navigate 3 or 4 houses at a time.

the street view button must be there, and a heavy blue line around the
street.

I have a daughter living in a dead end court. Her property has 4
pictures in street view.

Another daughter living in Darwin NT, doesn't get a mention, in fact it
looks like all of NT (Australia) doesn't get a mention.

Have fun,

Cheers Don...

Nah, there's a bit of it there - zoom out to a whole-state view, click
Street View and look at the blue-outlined bits. Looks like they
turned off at Katherine and continued over to Broome (or came from).
And they took the photos for Brisbane early this year at the latest.

I'm in the DC area and we haven't been mapped yet even though I see more
and more areas around us keep showing up. My Sister in Louisville KY got
her home mapped many months ago. I grew up in Louisville and had fun
visiting all my old hang outs with street view.

I'm still waiting for the live web cam version so you can see the earth in
real time. :)

New today for Australia and Japan, but that wasn't the way it was
announced here.

Apparently it has been available in France and the US for some time.

Pretty amazing anyway.
A good friend of mine has his wife out the front watering the plants
from a bucket, with laundry water. Water restrictions here in most of OZ
right now.

Another says there is a dog crapping on his front lawn. And the dog's
face isn't masked out either. :-)

Cheers Don...

Darn. They are mapping the rest of the world and still haven't gotten my
house! :)

Yeah, if I only knew when the van was going to come by, I'd stand out and
wave or do something else stupid for it. :)

I thought it might be fun to put a large date/time display on the roof so
the next time they took a satellite picture I would have a good time stamp
for when it happened. Same idea would work for the street view van if I
put a display of some type out front.
