Good good... according to satellite view, where I live is still a field.

Oh dont get me started the satellite views are so out of date it does my nut I rely on these for er hobbies. Streetview will at least be more up to date I guess.

Looking forward to it can't wait.

Nearmap is your friend. Updated monthly I believe.

Oh well, more pervy threads on PH then. Might get me erased.

[Negative Creep]

It drove past me as I was about to pull out of a junction. Better obscure my face though, otherwise those peados/muggers/rapists/asylum skkers will get me

[Pints]

Although I've never been there, I was able to take a "stroll" around the area my sister lives in, in NZ. I'm all for streetview.

Last updated 2004 Although it was monthly before that

Or I am doing it wrong, which is likely.

Nice Daily Wail use of capital letters in the thread title! I can hear the outrage...

Most people replying seem to actually be looking forward to it.

It's not that funny, they missed off buggery.

Looking forward to it. It's a massive achievement/investment. I hope Google can actually now do useful things with it (SatNav with pictures is on the cards) and, of course, I am sure they've already thought out how to leverage the technology for a profit...

and fabric folding in his own time

Are they releasing this update in one go tomorrow? Because I happened to notice earlier this week that there was rather more coverage than when I last looked; Warwick, Kenilworth and Leamington and various main A-roads in Warwickshire had been added. Although I don't check regularly so I'm not sure if that was an interim update.

Nearmap only goes up to 2004 and only Australia and the USA

There, that's better.

Oh, sorry.

"EFA"

[V8mate]

I wish Google would just refresh its satellite images more often.

[Neil H]

That's really GREAT news, I can't WAIT to see it go live.


Seriously though, I'm on Google Maps all the time, I love it I do.

That's because it's useful, I've used to look at the street a house for sale is in, it's also useful when you're planning a route for looking at the layout of some of the junctions etc on the way.

As already mentioned, I was surprised when looking a possible route for an American roadtrip just how much of the place is covered, including this place in the middle of nowhere:
Welcome to Swansea, California

Already covers my street (neighbour's car too).

Fiver says there's a 'Post a Streetview pic of your house!' thread tomorrow.

Of course there will be!

My house won't be covered, I am sure, as I live in an unadopted cul-de-sac: my neighbour and I actually own it and we have to maintain it ourselves.
