I've never really played with this before, but how the hell do they do this? It looks like there's a camera right outside my house. -- nm - pmb Dec 10, 13:20 2
- Take a look at the cars they use -- (link) - oblique Dec 10, 13:24
- There was when the Google camera car drove by. Apparently, they've gotten into trouble for going down private roads. -- nm - VMan Dec 10, 13:24
It's annoying that you can't drag the view to a position and then copy the browser address. -- nm - Max Dec 10, 13:19 3
- Click "link" and it does that I think. -- nm - Amy Dec 10, 13:20 2
  - ah, I'm dumb. This is where I was for the 2000 census. -- (link) - Max Dec 10, 13:23

am I doing this wrong? how do get street view? all I can get is satellite. -- nm - the last day of marketing loves mandy lane Dec 10, 13:14 1
- there will be a button beside the map, terrain, satellite buttons. Or a little person icon in the map itself. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:16
Honestly, your old neighborhood looks like the coolest Pac-Man game ever. -- nm - Jelly Dec 10, 13:13

    - *bookmarks this post for when jackdawson ever asks for sex again* - JaxSean Dec 10, 13:18
  - Yeah I was starting to wonder if this was a joke! :) -- nm - Guigue Dec 10, 13:13
This freaked me out. The name of our dept.'s accountant is "Treasure Hunt". I thought you were addressing her. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:09 3
- This is not a real name. You are making a joke. (nm) - musubi Dec 10, 13:10 2
  - Apparently, no. This is true. She must have had interesting parents. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:11 1
    - She picked the right career path, though. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:14
Late to the game, but how does google get this info? -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 13:08 6
- They have people who drive around in vans with cameras on the roof. No joke. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:10
- they've got a fleet of cars with cameras attached. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 13:10 4
  - [deleted]
  - Crazy. That must be painful to organize. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 13:12 2
    - I think they have a lot of autostitching going on -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:12 1
      - Yeah I'm sure it's autostitching and GPS, and someone just verify everything is allright -- nm - Guigue Dec 10, 13:15
Odds are *very* low that Street View covers *anywhere* I've ever lived -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:08 12
- No Cameras Beyond This Point -- nm - prison view Dec 10, 13:20
- I don't know why they cover places like Australia and New Zealand but not Canada. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:13
- well, I can get a satellite view, sort of -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:12 8
  - and another place, the thick L-shaped one on the end of the row closest to the road and the tree -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:14 2
    - Here's an odd question: How'd you end up there? Work? Family? -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:21 1
      - One of several places I grew up in. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:22
  - What. That's like an hour out of Victoria. I thought you were closer to the city. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:14 4
    - and it's more like six hours, including the ferry ride -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:15 2
      - I don't understand. I thought you lived on Vancounver Island. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:19 1
        
        Crap! There's no bridge between Quadra Island and Vancouver Island?! -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 13:20
    - this is where I *used* to live. I thought that's what the question was? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:14
- They don't cover Canada yet. You can see up to the custom offices, and that's it -- nm - Guigue Dec 10, 13:11
