Google Maps Street View

Hero ,
Just checked out my house in Sydney . Amazing .
Thanks ,
Willie .

The coverage is FAR beyond just Melbourne and Sydney....check out the areas covered so far:



For something that is FREE, it will be handy to check out some areas before getting there.

The ba$stards!
Now someone can check if I'm home when I'm pretending not to be!

Hmmmm...looking at my place I would say the pic was taken after 2001 and before 2005

Looking at shots of our previous house, the current one and our factory, all shots were taken between September and December 2007.

Jim.

i note that the quality of images for our house house has increased

Interesting technology.
Wonder how many km's they drove to photograph/film all those streets and roads??

I think my next door neighbour better lock his camper trailer up . Its there for the whole world to see . Other than that i dont see a problem . They say it wont be long before its live but i dont want that .

Sent a pic of a mates place to him in Armidale, Asked if I took the picture last time I was there a couple of weeks ago.

Amazing stuff.

Amazing technology this sallelite stuff.
I'm thinking something like side appeture radar?

Cheers

My place (just out of Cessnock) is on there, including the new shed, which was finished in December last year. The shed does not show up on Google Earth. But Google Maps is pretty current.

Sadly, parts of the NSW Central Coast are not so well catered for. My old address at Copacabana is not on it, nor is my daughter's place at Bateau Bay.

Amazing stuff though.

The landlords just seen the car parked on the lawn, the dog that doesn't exist,the grass and gardens overgrown and the neighbour is picking his nose.

Seriously though it is amazing. I sneak in by about 20m. The only street in a 3 block radius.

I hope they put this camera on a 4wd and do some well known tracks like the csr etc . For those that cannot afford to go there LOL .

Adds a whole new meaning to the expression "I can see my house from here!"

Truly amazing this stuff.

Just visited the house I grew up in on the other side of the country and noticed a for sale sign out front. A quick web search and found the listing for it and there are 13 photos inside and out. Amazing what a couple of reno's does for a place after 30 years!

Very useful to check out streetscapes that you may want to buy in without having to actually go there. You can see at a glance if all the neighbors have couches on the front proch and dead commodores and falcons in the front yard!

Gunna be some heavy increases in bandwith consumption as poeple check out previous dwellings and stuff.

Facsinating stuff!

Just looked at my property on the Woods-Point Rd.....When you look back down the road (dirt) i suppose they cannot wait for the dust to settle lol

Just had a look at the Servo we filled up at in Tibooburra.

Tell you what, this is going to save me heaps in fuel.

If I want to go somewhere I don't even have to leave my pooter.

Who wants to buy my Cruiser and van?

What a bummer......

Every street in my neighbourhood was done except mine!!! Most disappointed.

Amazingly thought, my parents house was done at the time I was visiting them, and guess what, my car is sitting out the front.

Wonder if Google Maps will ever go and fill in the areas that weren't covered the first time.

Just a thought,
I wonder how many unfaithful partners it could catch out?
Picture this.
Wife," look honey there's my sisters place, wtf is your work ute doing there? I thought you said you've been working at a job over the other side of town" You said you haven't seen Marg for months"

Sorry that's my mind thinking things it shouldn't, lol ;-)

and of coarse , the one time i don't do my lawn ........ its called irony right ?
