Title: Google street view. Post by: 748s on August 04, 2008, 08:55:59 PM Google street view australia kicked off today. Lovely views of the front and rear of my house. Also a nice picture of a Ducati S2R at the rear of the house. Google were nice enough to blur the number plate. Call me paranoid. I'm thinking this street view is just making things a bit easier for motorcycle thieves and junkies doing break and enters. Google have provided feedback links for requests to have images of your house etc. removed. Been clicking the submit button and my request for removal goes nowhere, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Title: Re: Google street view.

Title: Re: Google street view. Post by: mattyvas on August 04, 2008, 09:36:42 PM Melvin, that's a red Corvette.....
The convertable thing you're talking about yes. The mapping is old-ish though, it has my old car in the drive. We haven't had that for more than 6 months. Title: Re: Google street view. Post by: monstermick58 on August 04, 2008, 09:59:42 PM Crickey!!
I even found my place, which is not that easy to find, nothing is sacred Mmick Title: Re: Google street view. Post by: craigo on August 04, 2008, 10:09:11 PM It's a little painful, but you can link to maps.google.com without having to install Google Earth:
voila! http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=frasers+motorcycles,+homebush,+sydney+australia&ie=UTF8&cd=1&layer=c&ll=-33.863966,151.089005&spn=0.006539,0.01369&t=h&z=17&cbll=-33.865176,151.086596&panoid=l9wKrw21qud4W9hbqEWPsg&cbp=1,0,,0,5 I personally think it's a little spooky, especially if there is content up there that want removed and you can't. All your bases are belong to Google now. Title: Re: Google street view. Post by: Jukie on August 04, 2008, 10:44:41 PM done my house and very good view.

Title: Re: Google street view. Post by: ducsport on August 08, 2008, 03:46:58 AM Crickey!! Yep, you got that right! Found my place, and the shot is about eight months old. Fortunately no bike visible - locked safely in the garage....I even found my place, which is not that easy to find, nothing is sacred |
