google streetview uk is live!

[IronGiant]

Photos of my road are very mixed - in one place it's mid-summer, next photo it's winter.

[piku]

The whole of where I live is done. Going off the state of my garden, they did it last summer

[defsdoor]

Yay - my street is on now too!

(though we've just accepted another offer on the house so won't be my street for long).

[guythp]

I can see my house from here!

[defsdoor]

Can see my car parked in the distance when I went to the dentist. I saw the google car as I was leaving

[Spoongod]

I occasionally check to see if they've done anywhere near me other than Leeds.

They never have, of course.


Edit: I'm obviously stupid as Wakey is totally there. Heh, it's almost the future now, lads!

[Devlin]

oh look it's a house

the front door to my "apartment block", my place is actually right at the back just before the kitchen..

[Nixie]

Awesome! I cans ee my dad, and I found my car parked at the train station. Epic! im going into town to see if I can find any friends dossing around...

Amusing Rachel's car is photographed both outside ours and her parents 140 miles away in Hereford.

I'm disappointed, I was crossing the road near the local Tesco when the car went past me, but it looks like they've not used those photos for that bit.

Looks like they came past my flat early autumn last year, definitely since I moved in (can tell from the curtains).

Are the large white arrows the only way to move up and down a road on Streetview? I ask as I see that they only move your view in 'blocks'. For example, from one position I can see one edge of my drive, so I move one 'block' to move to one side, then I can see the 'other' edge of my drive, yet I can never see down it (as the actress said to the bishop ............. ).

In a nutshell, aren't 'fine' movements allowed for anything other than panning/rotating the view?

AFAIK, they take pics quite often, but not multiple times a second, so you only get one view per 'arrow'.

My house, in between the bright orange and pale yellow ones:

Just spent a glorious couple of hours re-visiting where I used to live in Andover.
I haven't been down there for a good 15 years, so it was nice to relive a few old memories.

My house is looking nice, as it was a glorious sunny day when the car went past.

Jeff, you had a look round Tadley yet? ... I said this to you a long time ago, but that house still reminds me of Hover Bovver!

AFAIK, they take pics quite often, but not multiple times a second, so you only get one view per 'arrow'.

That makes sense. Also explains why I can't see down my drive as there are trees and bushes lining it and there is no camera shot right at the end of the drive where it joins the road.

As for your house ......... we can see you!
