Google Street View coming to Canada

[I_bRAD]

yeah, a nice open pit is really hard to find in these litigious times.

 

[Lysistrata]

ooo, maybe i'll add teh streetview to my house to the invite for this weekend. this will hopefully lessen the likelihood of people going too far and then getting scared because now they're in Regent park. (scary!)

 

[MissBlu]

i'm not on google streetview, but i did check out the house i grew up in, my house now, and my parents.... they were all there, even in Kitchener

I saw tack on the National!

i didn't see this thread yesterday, but i did see tack on the news.

looks like victoria park and eglinton, so it's just at the edge of scarborough.

Correct, just in front of the No Frills parking lot. My dentist was in the same complex but has now moved to the shops at Don Mills. V. different!

i didn't see this thread yesterday, but i did see tack on the news.

somehow they managed to take 6 minutes of talking about this and turn it into a sound bite with the words "for sure" twice in ten seconds, and a reenactment of me walking up the street for the viewers who couldn't conceive how it all went down

lol..

 

[AlyG]

[Deus]

on the overhead view, you take the little person on the left hand side and drag it down on to the map in the location you want to look around.

cool, thanks!

ok, i checked.

looks like they took the birds eye view in the winter/fall or early spring and the front house view in the mid summer.... i can tell based on my gardens.

[groovespinna]

how are you guys finding yourself exactly? just remembering where you were when you saw the camera car I suppose?

 

[The Watcher]

^That's what I did. Mental note of where I was when I saw the car, then waited for it to become available. I saw the car in the spring.

 

[Reborn]

Same for me

Found some kitesurfers in Toronto.

 

[Aphrodite]

aw. the front door to my parent's house is open. it's so sweet to think of my dad in his chair, reading his paper with the tv on and Bailey on his lap

 

[alexd]

surfing streetview is so addictive

 

[Big Cheese]

whats funny is the google car totally caught me on my street, but by the time i noticed it and i double shotgunned the middle finger the car was clearly 30m up the street and gone for good (or so i thought).

it drove around the block thrice and the other two times i waited until it was close enough, aimed center mass and dropped the double (again) as it drove by. i guess they cut that part out as it just shows me walking down my street.

*shrugs*

nice alex!

 

[kuba]

How does one save the actual picture of what I find?

 

[Vise]

Shift+Print Screen, paste into Paint and save? That is the easy way.

 

[SlipperyPete]

if that doesn't work, hit alt+f4
