Buck531 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 it was on NBC4 news tonight. Some lady was freaking out because the picture of her house like that has her and her 3 daughters (that are incredibly blury by the way) was in the picture. What I want to know (and nbc didn't answer) was how google got that picture? Is there someone driving around the US taking pictures of houses standing in the middle of the street? The picture of my house has a car about 20 feet from where the picture was taken driving down the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yeh they actually are taking pictures. Car mounted camera, and the car just drives around all day. I had the same question today so I had to turn to wikipedia for the answer. Just crazyness. Ofcoarse I am sure I never have to worry about them doing a street view of my house. Cambridge doesn't even have close ups on the normal view yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 You can link to pics of addresses through whatever county office hadles property taxes, they take pics too. Sorry the details just seem to elude me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Here it is. My dad told me about this the day he saw one drive by. The car that drove through his neighborhood said google on it. Apparently there are quite a few and google did SF Cali. with their van. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/31/google-maps-zoom-her.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 i think its cool and a great idea.....what are people so afraid of its just a picture and now they are using a face blurring software algorithm so you wont even be able to see faces...they must be doing something wrong if they need to hide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I can't tell what this car is. It's my driveway, anyone have an idea?

Patrick Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 a piece of shit? Looks like, but both my mom and dad drive trucks/suv's. I think it's a Camaro, or I may be blind. Maybe Dan93Z28's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotart Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Some other forums have had contest when street view first started. they found pictures of a guy breaking into a house (or it appears to be) cars pulled over by police, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanello Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 That's insane how the fuck do they do that? Do they really pay some guy to drive around taking pictures of the world ten feet at a time? Yes. I've seen a green Kia or something with Google on the side and a camera ontop stopped at PF Changs by Tuttle Mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 78novaman Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yes the google guys drive around burning all this gas to take pictures for whatever reason then offer employees perks if they buy hybrids. Hypocrites. I'm disliking google more and more as they get bigger. They are censorship kings taking down any bad pictures aka there was on one the south end of Chicago of a drug deal going down and they pulled it once it spread the internet forums. Don't even get me started on their Chinese deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 That's pretty cool. It's been awhile since I've looked at all the places I've lived, but I've yet to see my car in one. However, if you search Toyota Supra MKII, or Toyota Supra MKIII in Images, my car comes up on the first page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lady was freaking out because the picture of her house like that has her and her 3 daughters (that are incredibly blury by the way) was in the picture. who gives a fuck? its not anything you cant see from driving down a public street. What I want to know (and nbc didn't answer) was how google got that picture? Is there someone driving around the US taking pictures of houses standing in the middle of the street? The picture of my house has a car about 20 feet from where the picture was taken driving down the street. yup. here is a pic of it http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/01/take-a-look-at-the-vehicle-thats-taking-a-look-at-you/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
