Google's Street View feature?!


Question: has anyone used Google map and used the Street view feature?

it's so amazing to a point where it creeps me out... how in the world they took an image at that angle? it's like they had a floating camera right at the spot looking around 360 degree.

I highly doubt they actually go to that location and took an image considering there are probablly millions of streets in the US / World.

how do they do it!?!?!?!?

Satellites and, yes, I have used it. Ain't technology grand...or not...the jury's still out on that.

Yes, I have used that feature.

It is my understanding that the aerial photos were taken by a spy satellite.

People can also volunteer to take photos of their neighborhood and upload them which then becomes part of the picture.

Yes, I have. Not every street in every place has had their images put on street view, but they do use an actual camera. If you pan the photo down, you can see a vehicle that has a special mounting with camera on top (approximately 2 feet above the car).

My street is not on Street View, but I have a relative's house that is on it. It was kind of creepy to see their cars in their driveway and every detail of their front yard. I have seen images taken from Street View and put on websites to show people doing various things. They showed two college girls sunbathing within 20 yards of the street.

You should do a search engine image search for "Google Street View" and see the results.

I have used Google Earth, they use satellites to take the pictures. And they are marvellous.
