WTF it covers some weird areas, then leaves big gaps in other spots? For instance the only part of Geelong covered is the freeway. I guess they didn't want to stay around for long in case they got mugged
Heh, can see my gf's brother's VN at his house. Shitbox

Yeah they had heaps of those cars drive through all the streets that are available.
One of them was on the news once because the Police had gotten photos from one of the Google cars for investigating a murder in Springvale where the body was dumped in a front yard. Anyone remember that?
Only the VX in the driveway for my house :'(

I would guess that take a mazillion happy snaps and record them in conjunction with a gps location?

yeh, wide angle shots or using multiple cameras to take photos that can be spanned around.
the car would likely just be on a timer or trigger of sorts to take one every few metres.
would have been a massive effort.

Holy crap that must have cost them an absolute mint to do!
My housemates busted-ass VN stars on my street, and you can see a bit of my smashed EB in a visitors car park...the ED must have been in the garage or at work
I found some skids which may or may not be mine, viewable from space, woot

How funny is this - I tried to google-stalk an ex, got an adress in france by accident, and Paris doesn't have any street views! LOL that Brisbane is so well covered, but they give no fark for one of the more famous capital cities in the world!
EDIT: Unsurprisingly, no street views in Venice either haha.

This is awesome. Unfortunately nobody were home when the photo of my place was taken
And my computer is being a virus infected bitch that won't let me upload photos. It looks like it's about time to format it
