My ndn is on Google maps mopping the path outside her front door..

Rogerstreasures · 29/09/2023 15:34

Yes, my son and grandson on the other side of the world to me!

MabelMaybe · 29/09/2023 15:34

My mum is. She was walking out of the local park with the dog when she used to live down south. Someone else in her block of flats noticed her on GE and told her.

Yes, for years I was outside my parents' house with oldest DC in pushchair! It's been updated since, though.

MustGetOutofBed · 29/09/2023 15:35

Not me, but my brother is. Caught on Google Street View putting out the bins in his PJs 😆😆 (ok bro, we'll call it "leisure wear" 😉)

cosmicgal · 29/09/2023 15:38

Yes me and my friend are on it with our kids having a picnic!

Butterkist8 · 29/09/2023 16:20

Not me but my dog is resplendent on my windowsill.

TigerRag · 29/09/2023 16:22

No. But on the day of my grandmother's funeral we pass the car that does the maps.

F0Xintherainbow · 29/09/2023 16:22

Can we have a screen shot op?

MrsPebbles · 29/09/2023 16:26

One of my colleagues was caught having a fag break outside the back of the office. She was mortified, bless her. It's been updated now much to her relief.

rubydoobydoo · 29/09/2023 16:28

One of our cats was sitting in our window! It's been updated since though.

Mojodojocasahaus · 29/09/2023 16:31

Me!!! Coming out of our local next 😂

itsgettingweird · 29/09/2023 16:32

I'm on there reading in my back garden 🤣🤣

I very rarely get time to sit and read so they timed it well Grin

UsernameChangedYetAgain · 29/09/2023 16:39

I suspect my car is or will be as I've passed a Google maps car on more than one occasion while out driving recently

If you don't like your photo you can ask them to blur it out

You can go back 'in time' though if you want to see it again

My car is at the crossroads in our town

I may of dawdled turning right when I saw the Google car

JoanThursday · 29/09/2023 16:55

Three times in different years and different places! The first is coming out of the old house where we used to live (must have been going for the train). The second is in an entirely different town, now with two kids, wrestling a double buggy in (or out) the front door. The last one is a lovely summers day walking to the shops swinging my bag like I haven't a care in the world!

DeathRattleDazzle · 29/09/2023 16:56

Looking hot OP!

Did you remember seeing the car and that's what made you google? Or was it completely by accident?

Iamnotastick · 29/09/2023 16:56

Google streetview is like a little peep back in time. Every now and then I like to go and look back years ago and see my Dads old house, see the window open and imagine hes still there, having an afternoon snooze.

That's really nice.

Me and my daughter are stood at the bus stop - but you only see us if you click on the view from the road across the way not the road the bus stop is on. We are both staring at our mobile phones 😂
A few years ago my neighbours boys (aged about 9 and 10) basically ran around the streets following the car (it was traveling slowly, lots of weird one way systems) - they got themselves on almost every street in our area doing silly poses. Brilliant.
Unfortunately it's been updated now so they've gone.

Dobbybigearsdog · 29/09/2023 17:01

You can see my mums knickers on the washing line, she’s absolutely mortified 😂😂 you can see my dogs barking in the window on mine! Looking gorgeous op ;)

Needmorelego · 29/09/2023 17:01

I've always wanted to find myself on a postcard. The type that are a photo of hundreds of people on the beach so it's just a crowd not posed models 😂
