Anybody seen this yet? Crap, this is amazingly cool and insanely creepy at the same time.
Go go maps.google.com, type in an address and click the Street View box. If you don't see that option, your street hasn't been driven or loaded yet.
I know SLC and surrounding is fully loaded, not sure where else. My home town isn't in there, so I'm guessing they've only done larger cities.
Edit: If you zoom out the whole country, you can see which cities have been done.
Thats kinda cool.
Edit: They haven't braved Magna yet. Shame, shame.
It was awesome about 1 year ago when it was first being used.
I'll need your street address so that I may send you a cookie or a trophy...your choice.Quote:

It didn't work for where I live out here in the sticks. So, instead I looked up where I grew up, and I just wanna say:
HOLY SHIT!!! Ya move away for 28 years and the whole neighborhood goes to shit! They all drive different cars. Didn't recognize anybody. Cut down a bunch of the big trees. The little trees are all big fukkers now. Everybody painted their houses a different color. Put lawn where driveways were. Driveways where lawns were. Big fuckin McMansions where vacant lots full of kids playin were. Tore down the smaller houses for more McMansions... the old neighborhood just ain't the same no more. Like goin to mars. Shit!
Good to see that SLC was finally added...and it looks like they have pretty much every single street in the valley.
Now watch this video:
+1 on the creepy. -1 on the Google hate for Canadia.
Haha, you guys missed when it came out in SF and they had pictures of drug deals going on and some guy breaking into an apartment complex (not really, just climbing the iron fence).
Funny shit, but yes, big brother scary!
This is an awesome tool for looking at real estate deals.
Sick shit. Sick, scary shit. I'm kinda confused though, did they just have a dude out there taking pictures all over the cities or what?
I used it today when I was tracking down an office I had to visit in Boston. Pretty dope.
Actually it's a horde of gnomes with GPS.Quote:

i was driving to work the on friday alongside the one of the cars that takes all the pictures. I was pretty stoked, partially bc I had skis on top of my car and I may be headed for internet immortality, but then I remembered that Alma st heading north from Mountain View was probably one of the first streets they took pictures of, and the cameras probably weren't on. As of today, no subaru in the pics, aargh!

It is just amazing the ways the internets will continue to change our porn.. um, sorry, I mean our world!!!
Edit: Has a real wide angle lens and makes my house look small, but was taken on what looks like a nice lush summer day in Wisconsin! And there aren't like 10,000,000 mosquitoes squished on the camera lens!
I suppose I can respect that.Quote:
