apoth0r Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I happened to stumble across it last night looking for a hotel near st pancras train station on google maps, its pretty cool. hadn't seen it before, was handy to follow the directions to it in person before we do the walk itself. Good old Google! :-)

I've seen them! They were parked in the McDonalds accross the road from my old office about a year ago. Was a dark van with "Google" on the side with a strange mounted camera unit on top.

Do you or anyone have a picture to show of the van, and could be Agent Smiths (From matrix driving on the search for Neo)
Domino Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 the only problem is that some of the number plates are blurred out others are not which in my opuion not good. really? what could you possibly do with that information? and whats the problem if its information you can get by walking down the street?
rolfea Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Tried using it for finding Banksy Artwork like the big bits. Couldn't find any =[ Might try again when I have my Banksy tour book to hand
chrisredfield93 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 really? what could you possibly do with that information? and whats the problem if its information you can get by walking down the street? I see what you saying but since google can be accesed, someone / a criminal can see if they spot a car then change the numberplate occuring without even going to any of those areas, or even if they dont have contacts there

rolfea Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 @ the deer hit That's horrible!! I wish I never looked at those pictures and yes, I am one of those peoples that almost cries everytime Bambi's mum gets shot.
dhicks Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Has any one ever seen google doing this on they jouruneys? Yes - I waved at the chap in the Google van as he was driving around Norwich. I seem to have been photoshopped out of the final footage, though. -- David Hicks
