beeswax Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 not a great picture, mobile phone camera etc, but definately the Google camera car.
FN-GM Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Is that the top of yorkshire street near the church?
beeswax Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Is that the top of yorkshire street near the church? You could try Googling it, there may be some pictures (yes it is). Actually, they may have pictures of me. How am I going to justify an 08 Lexus RX400 h on my salary?
FN-GM Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Where do you find the pictures? How am I going to justify an 08 Lexus RX400 h on my salary?
localzuk Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Lol, as I live in 'middle of no-where'sville' they won't make it down here
somabc Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Lol, as I live in 'middle of no-where'sville' they won't make it down here Google is everywhere, you can run but you can't hide! They should have a human form of robots.txt for the streeview car.
powdarrmonkey Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Google is everywhere, you can run but you can't hide! They should have a human form of robots.txt for the streeview car. Perhaps we should team up and write an RFC for it. I also live in the middle of nowhere, but I suspect they will cover most small towns at some point - particularly as mine is an old market town and Roman settlement so has some historic importance Edited August 5, 2008 by powdarrmonkey
localzuk Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I don't mind them coming here. But Minehead is roughly 10 years behind the real world... Companies don't like it here
richard.thomas Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Ooooo I was in Rochdale all weekend, I just missed them
beeswax Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Lol, as I live in 'middle of no-where'sville' they won't make it down here You should try Wardle then.
richard.thomas Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 You can see the hospital I was born at in that picture!
beeswax Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 You can see the hospital I was born at in that picture! It's being knocked down to make way for 400+ new houses now. If you tell me where to look for the blue plaque with your name on it, I'll see if I can locate it.
richard.thomas Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 No way! They're knocking down the whole hospital? Does that mean everything is moving over to Rochdale then? I noticed that it's grown in the last few years!
Gatt Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 For "Middle-Of-No-Where" try the Fort William area Or anywhere north of
IrritableTech Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I drove past one of these cars the other day, didn't know what it was until it was mentioned on the TV last night. Apparently they intend to photograph every road in Britain. Quite a task... especially with fuel prices as they are.
somabc Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Nah Ft William is the West of Nowhere, you should try Dalwhinnie! dalwhinnie - Google Maps
leco Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Nah Ft William is the West of Nowhere, you should try Dalwhinnie! dalwhinnie - Google Maps Ah but even that has a railway:)
