June 1, 200719 yr http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/index.html Its the newest feature to google maps. Not many places have it yet but its showing what is going to be possible in the future. :shock: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q ... 60675&z=13 ^ Example. By the way, I realize this probably would be more fit for tech and computers but lets be honest, not many people visit there. I was on the boarder anyways between that or OT So any thoughts? I guess it really is true what they say, google is going to take over the world some day. :P
June 1, 200719 yr I saw it on the news this morning, pretty incredible. I guess they've only got 5 cities so far but they're working on more. It's nuts. Gamertag: King Arizona
June 1, 200719 yr Author I saw it on the news this morning, pretty incredible. I guess they've only got 5 cities so far but they're working on more. It's nuts. Just think in a few years being able to check out your front door with it. :shock:
June 1, 200719 yr That'd be crazy to go on mapquest or something and they literally tell you "take a left at the big blue building" or something. I can't tell if it's more cool or more creepy. Gamertag: King Arizona
June 1, 200719 yr Okay, wow, that's going to be awesome when it's properly implemented. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
June 1, 200719 yr Hmm, i think they may have trouble keeping it "updated" though.. ~Defender~ If you love me, send me a PM. 8 - Love me2 - Hate me
June 1, 200719 yr Yeah, it is completely awesome. It's probably only going to be for the big cities though, and won't be able to be updated all that much.
June 1, 200719 yr Thats pretty amazing, I imagine they will only do it for the major cities of the countries because of the huge scale the project will take. People could do some great things with it though. -Bloodangel "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."
June 1, 200719 yr If you like that, have you seen Google Earth? It's sattelite pictures of all around the world that let you zoom in pretty far. You can search for places and see them. You should check it out. "We will certainly not be gaining money or members with this update.

June 1, 200719 yr I'm actually quite worried :shock: This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

June 1, 200719 yr how is this possible? Imagine to be able to check where the traffic is and everything. A lot easier to predict what route to take. Who every finds the most expensive car wins! Visit my DeviantArt Page at http://vladmoney.deviantart.com
June 1, 200719 yr Unless there's like a live feed webcam installed on every street (eep :shock:) I doubt this will be useful for checking traffic and stuff, it'll just be awesome to be able to go through routes visually. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
June 1, 200719 yr Unless there's like a live feed webcam installed on every street (eep :shock:) And now the future is here, were being watched 24/7 :( Quit Runescape 30th May 2006.Thanks to Hawkxs for my signature :)
June 1, 200719 yr Isn't this dangerous as it's so easy to check out where people live...perfect tool for stalkers *thinks of the film 'Alone with Her'* :anxious: Because now only people with authority can access the cameras but this .. can be accessed by anyone.... :ohnoes: A friend to all is a friend to none.
June 1, 200719 yr Ok, In a few years I'll go sit on my front steps. All of you go check all of the streets in Iowa. Goodluck finding me. Cookie to the person who shows me...me! 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving. Jagex'd out of my untrimmed hp cape on 6/14/2011.

And how is having a street view picture any different from aerial or even just a regular road map once you know a postcode?

June 1, 200719 yr Its not in real time, is it? If it was, Viktor could have used it when somebody chucked that Molotov Cocktail outside his house, to see whats going on without actually looking outside.
