Google now has street view

This is amazing! So much detail - wow!

They are supposed to have blocked out number plates but you can read around 1 in 3 very clearly on my mother-in-law's street. I'm sure it won't be long before someone finds the wrong car outside the wrong house....!

thanks KC

There are 4 gas men I can see out in our town along with numerous pedestrians, none of whom are blurred out at all, you can zoom right in their faces

KingCanuteIAm · 19/03/2009 14:42

So what do you think bronze?

bronze · 19/03/2009 14:46

Well it'll never cover here so it's not a worry for me. In a way its kind of cool and would be useful to get yor bearings if you're going to be going to a new place and are nervous but I can't imagine I would be happy if it could see in my windows. I think theres going to be uproar.

JackBauer · 19/03/2009 14:54

You can't see much, but if the DD's curtains or my bedroom curtains were open you would be able to see straight into our bedrooms.
As it is you can see shadows but I know what they are.

Luckily I am not on there making obscene gestures

JackBauer · 19/03/2009 14:58

Am rather surprised that they drove down teh pedestrianised high street

There don't appear to be images of any of the sctreets around my DD's school, which is good.

How bizarre is that! My nan's garden looks nice!

LouIsAHappyLittleVegemite · 19/03/2009 15:11

This was released in Australia a fiar while ago and there were so many complaints as they had captured people being arrested, pulled over by police, fights etc...All that is wrong with my house was that my housemate hadn't taken the bins in.
It is so interesting to look at places you used to live etc

Hassled · 19/03/2009 15:55

Ha! You can see the Mad Old Witch next door coming out of her house to check for signs of people having fun

ABetaDad · 19/03/2009 16:06

Where can I get this service... obviously I only want to look at my own house?

roomforthree · 19/03/2009 16:08

FFS - you can see into my lounge & kitchen. There are street views front & back, so if the curtains weren't closed, there would be views into all our bedrooms too! Not only do I now have to contend with the workforce of a large government agency staring into my house when they are going home, but the whole internet-world can rubberneck if they choose. Bloody ridiculous.

ChippyMinton · 19/03/2009 16:11

OMG my PIL are walking down our street

UndertheBoredwalk · 19/03/2009 16:24

Ooohh this is funny, it covers my city but not my area, am looking at my dad sat on front step doing something to my parents front door though. I just rang him and told him, he thinks it's cool, and asked if he's famous now

ChippyMinton · 19/03/2009 16:24

And my car is outside my sister's house about 12 miles away. Must've been a Sunday.

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 19/03/2009 16:25

I read something in the paper that one shot was taken that showed a drunken man in a heap outside his house. Clear view of him slumped in the gutter which loads of people saw before it was removed.

MerlinsBeard · 19/03/2009 16:34

i can't get it to work ..

theDreadPiratePerArdua · 19/03/2009 16:40

Wow. Have just had to take a virtual walk down usual streets to make sure it hasn't caught me having a fag doing something I shouldn't...

MerlinsBeard · 19/03/2009 16:42

This is really bizarre. I SAW the google car on streets nearby, why can i not use street view?!

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 19/03/2009 16:52

I've also seen the car months ago in our town but no street view available.

Hassled · 19/03/2009 17:19

Judging from the flowers in our garden, they shot our city early last Summer. So if it was only a few months ago, presumably it's still a work in progress.

UndertheBoredwalk · 19/03/2009 17:19

I think it must take a while to get them on, the views I've looked at were all obv taken during summer time, so well over 6 months ago. They might be putting more up bit by bit

morningpaper · 19/03/2009 18:39

If you were having an affair you would be SHITTING yourself, wouldn't you?!!!!

Love the drunken australian!!!!

I don't understand how you get it I clic k on the orange man drag him then he pings back to where he was does that mean im not covered by streetview?

Wallace · 19/03/2009 18:57

the oads with stret view have blue outlines. If there was nowhere round you with street view the orange man is not even orange
