"Having checked my old house in Sheffield, which I moved out of last year, I can tell that the photo was taken in the last nine months, so it's much more up-to-date than the Google Maps imagery for the area," noticed Tony Ruscoe.
More interesting photos at Google Maps Mania blog.
Yes the London pics are taken recently, our area (W-London) was seemingly done in the last 3-4 months.
ReplyDeleteIt loads very slow.

ReplyDeletemaybe its a little too much information, lots of very big brother and sinister type uses for such technology
ReplyDeletethe world on our desktops....
ReplyDeleteThey updated street view for St. Cloud minnesota [ the entire area is completely covered now] as well as my northwest suburb of minneapolis - Crystal is now completely covered in street view, it's kind of creepy
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome nice street view.. Yahoo mail ad on Google Maps street view.. have a look. http://twitpic.com/28qi2
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Saw the Google Maps car driving around Amsterdam's Westerkerk area today... Maybe I'll be in Google Maps myself... (luckily not under the same circumstances as the guys from Marijn1's post)
ReplyDeleteWell, for starters I like having the world on my Desktop. See, I'm one of those victims of this not-so-great economy we're having, and the dream that I can actually go visit far away and exotic lands is dwindling right alongside my once promising 401k. So, right now I'm virtually touring England - visiting there has been a lifelong dream for me and if I can't do it for real, then I'll happily navigate the panoramic photos of London, Southampton, etc. But I'd better hurry, before some privacy organization (I won't mention names) talks someone official into shutting it down.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how often the photos are updated? I read an article about the women who caught her husband cheating when she saw his car parked in front of another women's house, but this doesn't really make a whole lot of sense if the pictures are a few months old.
