Google Streetview *NEW VERSION*

**hopwas** · 11-03-2010, 09:36

Just released this morning. Now you can view the streets virtually everywhere in UK. I just had a look at my street.. doh! I left my windows open while out (maybe on pub crawl..)

Excellent tool for browsing pubs.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

That is actually quite irritating.

I was planning on doing the review code next as it seriously needs a rewrite, but equally if they have sorted the coverage out it is tempting to push this into our system properly.

Thanks for the heads up Hoppy, although I am now going to be mulling over which old out of date code needs to be fixed first.

Ha. My street still excluded. The only one in the area, but as it's a cul-de-sac with parking issues maybe that's why.

Looked up my family home where I lived from 4-20. I actually found it rather emotional, especially as the drive contains a large white van AND a black cab.

Standards do fall!!

Damn them-they've found us out now.

It is not very up to date. A hedge in our back garden on the map was removed about 2 years ago and replaced with a fence about a year ago.

Useful for pub viewing I agree though.

The pictures of my street were taken at the end of summer 2008 as the dead plants in my failed attempt at gardening are visible for all to see!

West Brom invaded!

Happily stolen from The Register.
