May 30 2007Google Street View
Google Maps has introduced Street View, which basically lets you walk around on the actual roads in the map. It's only available for a few cities right now, but it's pretty much the most amazing feature I've ever seen. Just go here and then click Street View and follow the directions.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
If you're here, you're already lost.
No map can help you now!

Google maps makes my dial-up at work angry.
You know, there should be a site we can go to to find what date they are taking the pictures... so we can all go outside and moon... I mean wave... ya, wave.

Hey #8, no worries. I'm sure the Google Photo Van will fit in there with room to spare.

I live in topeka. If they were to do this in topeka, i'm willing to bet they would show Wanamaker Ave. and that is it. "Why?" You ask? None of your damned business, thats why.

Just like Brownian, Vanman and Manmeat I live in the back of beyond and will not be seeing any photographs of my location on Google maps any time soon.. That's where the similarity between us ends.
Even my postcode PH1 2UF can't give you the name of my street!?
C'mon Google I've been here for 4 years get the finger out... uh, no wait I've just had an idea.. If I can find a mad genius bent on world domination I have the perfect discreet location for his missile silo!
(I can't be arsed mowing the back lawn anyway)

That's pretty cool, but I still like the directions from New York to France via googlemaps.

Those bastards at Google are obviously planning on taking over the world.
Haha just kidding Google!
