chrbb Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Just looked at our street - everyone's reg plate is obscured except mine:(. Not seen the Google car though!
RabbieBurns Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 I spent about half an hour going for a 'drive' round glasgow today. Always wanted to go the wrong way down the one way streets. Quality of the images is amazing. They even managed to photoshop some blue sky into glasgow.
garethEds Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Has any one ever seen google doing this on they jouruneys? I havent but what been funny, I just imagined that if google had the same van as the "A-Team" with the google logo on it that made me laugh thou how I thought of that, hmm possible "Mr-T" driving too lol. -edit- the only problem is that some of the number plates are blurred out others are not which in my opuion not good. Yes I saw what I thought was a Google car - it was an Opel Astra (Not a Vauxhall Astra) and it had a triangular camera thing on the roof. I didn't think nothing of it until I saw a picture in a newspaper. Definately a Google Car. GJE
RabbieBurns Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 what they need to do is create a way of playing a animated walk through of a trip from A to B, so that it will show you exactly how to get from A street to B street. Or to tie in with GPS or something.
pagelad Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Must have been a while ago here in Newcastle. My old car is on my old street prob at least 6 months ago
Curt_LFC Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I saw the car last summer on yarmouth seafront. The driver was parked up eating an icecream! Ive just done a walk around my old streets in leeds for nostalgias sake. Actually managed to find the way home from the pub to my house for a change! I cant even contemplate the amount of work that goes into recreating everything is such detail.

Maz Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Hmm, I can't seem to see any street view options in the UK - it has America and Everywhere else, but none in the UK.
Little-Miss Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I just dropped the orange dude on Birmingham...does it make a difference if you are on .co.uk or .com?
rad Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Orange dude is not everywhere yet (I'm too lazy to see if its done for B'ham) It works for London, and noticed that it must of been done in a holidays and at least last year, August time.
RabbieBurns Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Hmm, I can't seem to see any street view options in the UK - it has America and Everywhere else, but none in the UK. I couldnt figure out how to get it to work yesterday either. I ended up following a link that took me there instead. sauchiehall st glasgow - Google Maps
chrisredfield93 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 In my opuion Google has too much time on their, hands, from satalite view to street view, whats next? Sea View where they take their google boats LOL
Andrew_C Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Not all of the UK is covered yet. London in quite some detail, and other main cities. I do seem to have lost the satellite imagery though...
tech_guy Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Just looked at our street - everyone's reg plate is obscured except mine:(. Not seen the Google car though! You can report it to Google.

jcollings Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Both that car and a van were in Kendal at the weekend.
Andrew_C Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 it see what you mean about the pic, she was just a tad bit slow.I think one of the pics has been replaced. ISTR that El Reg mentioned that a few months back.
chrisredfield93 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I think one of the pics has been replaced. ISTR that El Reg mentioned that a few months back. O I didnt Know that I thought I found something new while on the search. + btw I dont think they are my relatves possible neighbours or some people living near guess I could say if I go there and spot them, I could say I seen you on google
tech_guy Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Lol: BBC NEWS | Technology | Google pulls some street images
lill Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I just dropped the orange dude on Birmingham...does it make a difference if you are on .co.uk or .com? im using it on .co.uk with Birmingham, its not all covered but if you hold the peg man over the map the areas with street view turn blue.
somabc Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 It's all the blue areas here http://imgur.com/V4UP.png 1
ChrisJ Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I just dropped the orange dude on Birmingham...does it make a difference if you are on .co.uk or .com? The M6 seems to be the cut off with Birmingham. You can get to Fort Dunlop and then no further.
tech_guy Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 The M6 seems to be the cut off with Birmingham. You can get to Fort Dunlop and then no further. I'm not suprised...
Andrew_C Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Interesting find in Richmond. You know how they have software to blur people in the street; well it has attacked a photograph in a hairdresser's window. I'd be curious to know how it is supposed to work! 42 The Quadrant, Richmond. Edited March 27, 2009 by Andrew_C
