    What are your thoughts on this?

    I'm just trying to figure out how it was done, a special vehicle with a 360 camera on top? or on a trailer? And they just drive down the road taking snapshots? It must have taken a long time.

    Unfortunately, Singapore doesn't have it, and i'm not sure if it ever will, so I can't give you an address to my house or neighbourhood. But I'd be interested to see some of yours if any of you aren't afraid to give it out.

    All of Australia, NZ, America, Canada and most of Europe seems to have been done. Not sure why the UK is behind on this one.

    It's very interesting to randomly zoom down and see what is there close up. I'm also wondering if there's some nude person standing at their window right when the photo was taken.

      You're so ****ing frustrating because you never cease to get the basics right.

      Not one city in Canada has had this done, so I've no idea WTF you think "all of Canada" has this done.

      And yes, they use a special car/van and drive around with it. Google it, *****.

        Silence Asher, I simply skimmed over Canada and it LOOKED like Canada had done it's major cities. I was wrong. No need to wet your diapers.

        And talking about it is more interesting than searching Google for answers. How else would I have gotten your typical response?

          How the **** could you skim over it and have it LOOK like it has something for all of it when it has none?

            Perhaps you were just looking at Chicago and thought it was Canada...

              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                Rather extensive, I must say. It has my parents' house on a road in rural Ohio. The "street view" is merely corn fields for most of the trip. Doesn't follow the dirt roads, though.

                        Hell, my house doesn't even exist on Google Earth. It say the image is from 2008, but they are lying.

                        ACK!

                          Well since others are posting, I'll post my old house back in NZ.

                          Mine was the one with the pink flowers outside. The Brown orange building behind it was not there, the land area we owned went further behind it, when we sold it, the new owner split the land into two, and put a house at the back.
