Have you ever recognised yourself or anyone else on street view?

[TerrysChocolateKumquat]

Just that really, I’ve just seen someone I used to know (I know the face is blurred but it was definitely them) but they died in about 2012. I didn’t know them that well but it was like seeing a ghost. Has anyone ever seen/recognised anyone or themselves?

Thank you. 😊

My friend showed me her road as she can be seen putting out her bin. She’s now dead, but I sometimes look up her address just to see her.

Yes. My mum standing in her garden staring straight at the camera, which looks a bit weird, and my DH and DS coming out of the primary school at home time. In fact it was that picture of DH that convinced him to go on a diet! 🤣

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss . It might be worth taking a screenshot, as Google update Streetview from time to time and it would be sad if her comforting image was replaced.

No, but my cat was 😂

My dad outside his house, filling his green bins. Pretty much his favourite activity

My aunt and cousin are in one, another of sister in Law, and also one of my DH & DS. All currently there to see. No random places either local or whilst at work. The GM car has driven past me before but never found myself.

Although they do update them from time to time you can still view all previous captures too.

You should still be able to view it as normally the previous shots are still available.

My grandmother was on a really early version, sitting on her doorstep chatting with a neighbour. I found myself clicking onto the site frequently after she died, just to see her (this was the satellite view one). I was sad when they updated it as she’s no longer there.

I was in our back garden on that version too which was quite strange.

My son, sat on a neighbours wall chatting to his friend who was stood on his door step. A neighbour's cat is also sat on the wall.

It was Covid times. Their means of socialising.

I’m on it with DH. I knew I would be because the Google car passed us. I gave it a wave

Yep, me and my colleagues are at the window of our office waving at the Google car!

My dad who passed away in 2016 is looking out the window of his old house.
My late OH is on street view coming out of our corner shop.
My niece is on it playing with her friends outside her house.
My friends late Oh is shown coming out of the train station.
My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin all outside their house.

I saw a friend doing some weeding in her front garden. And another friend saw the camera van approaching and waved. You can see him waving on Street View.

Same, but this was a long time ago and it's different now

We spotted my FIL car parked outside his APs house.....

We used to be able to see FIL hanging out the washing until it updated. He died 5 years ago so sometimes I like to click back on Google maps and see him doing something so ordinary.

I used to be on there with my brother driving up to our local sorting office at the time

My friend had a close relative on Goggle street view. She used to go look at him occasionally after he died outside his house. Unfortunately they updated and he's no longer there anymore.

I was very visible through the front window on the sofa. Having a nap. In the middle of the day. Bang to rights!

Yes! My dad is on it clearing the gutter outside his house. Now he's housebound. And I'm on it walking with a friend from work. We saw the Google car and waved at it.

Can she look at older images? It usually keeps them.

Yes. My mum's lovely old neighbour who died, probably, about 4 years ago. Also my very first boyfriend as I knew his address and wanted to see what his house looked like. He was standing outside it. (I'm 61)

BIL is sticking two fingers up at it outside Betty's tearoom.
