A friend has just seen the Google Street view camera car in his housing
estate not too far from here this afternoon. It's not a special housing
estate, just an ordinary place so watch out they could be down your street
any day now. No nude gardening, no illicit visits to Mrs/Mr Nextdoor,make
sure your windows are clean and nets sparkling white and for goodness sake
don't pick you nose or scratch your bum :-)
On a serious side I'd like to know why they are here now when we can't get
the piccies yet as far as I can find out. Unless somebody knows better :-)

They were going around Edinburgh streets a couple of months ago and also
above for the Arial views. Probably finish doing the country before they
update the maps.

Well Edinburgh I could understand but some places Oop here don't even have
hi res in the maps yet. Oh and my local Google Earth piccy was taken at dusk
so about all you see are car and street lights.

And the street view has only recently been given the go ahead

Obviously, you can't get the piccies until they've taken them.
Or wasn't that what you mean?

Oh you've got the missing nit comb :-)

> Or wasn't that what you mean?

What I meant was that they have already taken piccies of several UK places
but they haven't put any on Google Earth yet and they aren't telling when
they are going to. 'Sides what I read about the street view thingy gave me
the impression that they were more or less real time piccies.

Unless they've tapped into the CCTV surveilance cameras that seems
*highly* unlikely.

If they are going into an ordinary housing estate I wouldn't bet on it.
Deepest Devon must look better than rows of houses :-)

I think the giveaway was the big camera on the roof and maybe the Google
sticker on the door :-)

I can see a camera on the roof, but the logo on the door in the pic is of
immersive media.

Have you a pic of a car with a Google logo on the door that's definitely
linked to a particular area?

The pics so far might be of the local council snoopers using their powers
under the RIPA. Bad enough, but not quite the same thing.
