Google Maps - street view

Hopy cow :eek:

http://www.google.com/maps?q=390+Bergen+St,+Brooklyn,+NY+11217,+USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title

That was my address in Brooklyn. Click on 'street view' and then on the yellow man.

And then walk around in a Myst-like manner.

Is it just for NYC or does it work for other cities?

I get no love for San Diego :smith:
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

It works for a few other cities as well.

I'm following the white van going NW up Bergen St. You can't get away from me! :argh:

Hahahaha I followed it around the corner taking a left onto 4th Ave and now I'm stuck in traffic. Why can't I get out and hijack another car???
Cordially,

We've been watching street view for a few days at work here.

Digg featured articles to what the streetview vehicles were...last I heard they were VW beetles.

This site has individual pictures people have collected from Street View. One of the pictures shows the van in a reflection from a glass building.

Lord, this was done recently. There is a building that is under construction in my school, and the pic they have on street level is ~1 month old.

Heh, also I think I see one of my classmates in front of it, as he has a very distinct and extremely puffy green jacket. Can't make out that much though.

This is really cool.

I cant figure out if this is just a reflective sign, or just an error.

Damn I wanted to cruise around my town without leaving my chair. :( Alas, laziness does not prevail quite yet.

Ha! They just drove around the city with a 360-degree camera going off. Awesome.

Nope. You don't actually have a right to privacy in the US, and as long as this gets classified as 'news', they don't need waivers either.

Error on page when I click on the man.

Any ideas? Do I need to download something?

[edit] Nevermind, it works in major cities like San Fransisco, Denver, Miami, and Las Vegas too.
No Los Angeles though :(. [/edit]

Pick 1.

A) Glitched picture; the stitching software did the best it could.
B) Picture removed at request of someone depicted.
C) A giant trans-dimensional gateway.

D) Image sensor was overloaded with sunlight.


Hint: its D.
