Google Streetview

I just found out about Google Streetview. It's so cool!!! It's not in Canada yet due to some sorta privacy thing, but it is really neat. A Google streetview car goes around and takes panoramic pictures, so you can look around most US cities in first-person. It's really cool.

The only thing is, it's the stalkers new bff

Re: Google Streetview

Yeah...most of the streets here in Maine are covered by it.  It is very cool...and also useful as it can help you familarize yourself with an area you've never driven in before.  I'm not sure why stalkers would find it particularly useful...the images aren't updated on a regular basis, so it's just a snapshot of an area.

Re: Google Streetview

Google Earth's flight simulator is funnier  tongue

But maybe I say that because Google Streetview hasn't covered Chilean streets yet. For sure they'll do, in about a year or two  big_smile

Street view just went through my city the other day. There was an article in the paper.

Re: Google Streetview

I just tried it out today. Too bad it's not in my country.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
