They've really cocked up that road actually. They blocked out a lot more than his house (I wonder who else lives down there?) and (just past Maccas pad) all the car number plates are still visible.

it's really upsetting to me that i live in a major u.s. city and yet my entire neighborhood is not streetviewed. i wonder if i can contact google to volunteer and they'll come out and weld the camera tower to my car and commission me to do it, including paid training. cause i would do that.
― iiiijjjj, Friday, 29 January 2010 16:38 (fourteen years ago) link
I did actually complain to google that my main minor UK city had not been s/v'ed when Scunthorpe had been. And literally a couple of weeks later they were out and about. However this may not be cause and effect (and they've still not released the maps even though it was months ago).
In the meantime some Berlin art pranksters claim to have attached a GPS device to the googlecar.http://streetcar.fffff.at/

There was an article in the paper here a couple weeks ago saying Google are now doing to go round on pushbikes getting areas they couldnt get to by car - zoos, botanical gardens, pizzas, that kind of thing. That'll be awesome!

By "pizzas" I clearly meant "piazzas", erm erm.
Trayce, they're already doing this. See upthread a few posts.

Yeah that kew gardens thing was what made me think of it. Theyve not finished it here yet but I'm looking fwd to being able to see some cities pedestrian plazas, inside taronga and melb zoo, and so on.

URL tells you everything you need to know.
The photos, showing the child's mother or nanny helping him dress and a man looking on, have sparked fears that paedophiles will have a new way to search for photos or targets online.
A MAN LOOKING ON.

Google had blurred the child's face but not the registration plate of the family's car, making it possible to trace their address.

Does any country in the world wring it's hands about streetview as much as us Brits?
Google's Street View has come under fire after a new survey shows that two-thirds of people find the images 'intrusive' and 24 per cent think it is a 'service for burglars'.

It randomly shows you places on Streetview. Except it's not all that random, as it gets stuck in certain regions.
