Google street view

You —

It apparently now covers 95% of the uk - My house cna be seen in there. along with even a relative (in another location) string at the camera.


So what do you think of it?

there is. while going back through things, I came across it. almost a year old. I might merge them when I get home later on.

i feel like privacy is invaded. i rent so its not so bad. but if it was my own house like i owned it i would care more. isnt it a good tool for sick minded ppl like stalkers?


i saw image of the last house we rented loved that flat. huge georgian flat miss it. still drive pass and reminese. sad isnt it its just bricks and mortar but still 😢

Its a little blatant to be honest, you can see my dad standing outside my house if you google map my house. my dads not to impressed by it .

but surely its just pictures of streets? people can walk down them anyway....

My house cannot be seen in it as its in one of the smaller streets of London..... even though there is a major road adjacent to it.


I think it's an excellent idea. I can now look at addresses before I even go there. Or check out the ugly streets of Oldham.....

Me too. Last year I had a place on a workshop in central Manchester and used street view to get my bearings before hand. It helped loads!

Once they launch google maps navigation in the uk, you will be able to walk down the street keeping your eyes glud to the roads. and hope people and objects move out of the way.

Am I going crazy or is it now also offering a 3d view of the streets (for people who own the necessary equipment such as those goggles)?
