Holy crap, you can submit your own high-res pictures and Google will overlay them, automagically replacing the actual place/building from the right view :D 8O

I intercepted a pager message of an ambulance dispatch to that place for a victim of food poisoning a few weeks ago.

Google Streetview also went live in the Netherlands today. At various red light districts around the Netherlands you could see the hookers sitting behind their windows, embarrassing pics of johns walking around and people visiting sex shops and you also see nice looking women walking around on the streets. :lol:

Check out these examples:

http://maps.google.nl/maps?t=h&hl=nl&ie ... 93144&z=17

http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&source=s ... iwloc=addr

http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&source=s ... iwloc=addr

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 26865&z=15

The Google censors are working overtime to remove "inappropriate" pics though. :?

BTW I should be in the Google Streetview of the Rijswijkseplein in The Hague if it goes live, because when I was crossing the street a Google car passed by.

My neighbourhood sadly isn't on Streetview, they stopped photographing Rotterdam at the Tjalklaan. Or maybe they will upload the images later on. :)

Been trying this out a lot...Guess they shortless the photo by its geo-tag surroundings, then look for the best fit with image recognition.
Really smart stuff. Next step is to support PNG transparancys in images...

I gota learn how to add my own photos...I guess its just adding co-ordinates in Picasa no?
