I was bored a bit ago, so I was looking around various things to do in the Chicago area (I will be there in April ), so I decided to check out the street view feature because I usually just use WL Maps to do locations and directions, etc. So I zoomed into my grandma's house, and sure enough my car is in the driveway. I'm astonished, I was not aware that Google Maps did this sort of thing.

The street image was from July of 2007 whilst we were up there, my windows are now tinted .

Lookie:

Never, ever doubt the power of Google Maps.  Haha, I looked mine up too and it is kinda freaky to see that this giantic camera car thing was in my complex.

i win.

Thats not his house though, its his grandma's. So yeah, go enjoy your sexy time Sam.

Too bad they don't have this feature for Greece

Google Maps is even more handy on my iPod Touch. It's pretty creepy that it can actually locate me withing 30 meters of accuracy using wifi ("Locate Me" feature). Plus after that, I can search for say "Sushi" and it will list all the stuff around my place. Really handy when you are thinking of something to do, on your feet.

P.S. Open wifi hotspots are awesome .

They won't have these features in Europe as it will violate many European countries' privacy laws.

But this is just another example of Google World Domination BETA.

I found a picture of dt in his car: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&layer=c...,0.066605&t=k&z=14

Google maps are awesome, but i personally think that Google Earth is just even better, you can see everything in earth and it is very useful.

I love it.

They were also going to make this project including Canada But they did not lol For somehow reason I dunno But its so much fun

i live in australia and there was a story featured on the news tonight about how people are worried about their privacy and stuff like that. it was a pretty long feature too.

i found my house!

They have different models (different cars, different camera setups) AFAIK.

And not every car with cameras on it will be a Google car. Friend of mine worked for a company where they drove around with a multiple GPS-linked cams too. They were just filming roads and taking pictures of signs. They don't have the 360 degrees of cams tho. Just 2 at the front and 2 at the back i believe.
