Google Street View

[Norwood]

Amazing stuff, just use google map to find your address, click on satellite view then if you see the icon for a man, click on street view.. you can view 360 degrees...

If you have a street view of your home, you can see if you need to mow the lawn or who was visiting at the time... amazing stuff....

Make me wonder.... How did they do that?

Big brother is watching....

I have no idea how they do that. But it is just plumb scary, ain't it. When I looked at my house I can even see a UPS package setting on the front stoop. WOW!

Thanks for the heads up Don.

What's super scary about that site is that people have seen their young children in the yard or waiting for the school bus. Seems like a bad thing for pedolphiles to be able to see.

I posted this on another forum as well, a member in Europe said that the tax office was using the google to get updates on property improvements for MORE taxes....

Several years ago I was in Oshkosh, Wis at the EAA show and the Blackbird was on displayed in it's first retirement... While the crew said they couldn't answer all the top secret questions.. I ask....Can you read my licenses plate? answer was yes...

Yes, scary....

There was a rash of unplanned pool parties in England last year.
People were using google-earth to find the swimming pools in the area.
After checking for unattended homes, party's on!

Tried this last night, man this is spooky. Ain't no tellin who's watchin you anymore. It showed a picture of our house before Gustave. At least it's not "real time".
