Title: Google Street View UK Live
Post by: slackline on March 19, 2009, 12:30:48 pm
Google's Street-view is now live for cities in the UK.

Just go to Google Maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps) and above the slider that allows you to zoom in and out there should be a little orange man that you can drag to a location on the map that is covered , release and you jump to the street view.  Just checked out my crib  8)

That's fucking mad - chez Bubba. It's pretty dodgy really, you can zoom right in and check security, etc. It'll be a thief's playground - there was a guy busted the other day who'd tracked down leaded roofs via google earth.

Is that your actual house Bubba?  It's a well cool shape; quite Art Deco-ish.

I have just discovered the new Google stuff, I love it!  You can zoom right in and see my cats scratching post through the window.  :lol:

Now, who wants to tell me their postcode so I can try and look in their window!!  :wave:

Yeah, that is my house/millstone.

Art-deco stylee, built in '36. There's quite a few of them on the street - the flat roof is great in summer for sunbathing/barbies.

I say millstone coz paying for the thing leaves me with £20 cash per week after bills and food  :boohoo:

At least they've had the decency to obfuscate registration numbers.

Nice place you got there Bubba, my first impression was it was designed by a sailor as it looks like a house you'd get around a port  :)

They didn't drive past my front door so theives will have to stake my house out to get the low-down on access.

@Bubba : How'd you embed that, I can't get the [ html ] BBcode tags to work...

It's so pretty though!  And a flat roof you can get out on!  Definitely worth eating beans on toast a lot  ;)

Why can't I see the imbedded pictures anymore?  I want to peer in Slacker's windows, but neither of the linky picture things are showing up now, just white boxes. 

I would show you my beautiful home in the ghetto but I don't know how [/technodunce]  I bet you're all gutted at that  ;D

Could be that Google Maps thinks your a non-legit user (i.e. an automated bot) to check just go to http://maps.google.co.uk/ (http://maps.google.co.uk/) and you may be asked to enter a passcode.  Do that and you should be able to see things again (I only know this because I have exactly the same problem here at work!).

Well, as expected the google-privacy-apocalypse roadshow hasn't made it to our small village yet.

But I am extremely disappointed that the coverage for our nearest big city stops about 100m from where I sat and watched the google car drive past - only another 100m of coverage and there would be pictures of me waving!

(Hmm, maybe that's why they set the cutoff there?)

By the way, am I the only one to find it rather strange that so many carefully pseudonymed-up internet personas are posting up URLs that contain entire home addresses? Google probably already knows where we all live, but now so does everyone else!

I've no qualms over revealing my real name or where I live, I use it when I PM people all the time on this site and others where I use the exact same pseudonym.  I prefer a pseudonym so that my ramblings aren't uncovered when applying for jobs and such like (have UKB setup under FoxyProxy (http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/) too at work).

Facebook is far worse (not signed up myself).

And they have filled in some of the gaps including our road.

Anyone checked recently? They've got everything. And I mean everything.


Check out what the campsite at the foot of Glen Rosa looks like in Summer. Go for a roadside viewing of Sron Na Ciche.

This is such a powerful tool. I'm excited.

Just checked, they still haven't been past my front door.  You can see it from a nearby road, but they didn't drive right past my front door so no full-360o view.

As you say though, they've got lots more coverage or rural areas, such as near Applecross (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Applecross,+Strathcarron,+Ross-Shire,+United+Kingdom&sll=53.382036,-1.452502&sspn=0.00448,0.013229&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Applecross,+Strathcarron,+Ross-Shire,+United+Kingdom&ll=57.411021,-5.701346&spn=0.00809,0.026457&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=57.411045,-5.701231&panoid=aEipTU1Ab0QtB47fxZC8WA&cbp=12,105.57,,0,-6.02).

Not the UK, but last year in Sardinia we were sat around on the veranda and noticed a car coming down the dead end road, curious to see who it was I stood up to have a look and it was a Google StreeView car snapping pictures.  Read last night that there had been a huge update to StreetView and lo and behold....
