Google Street View coming to Canada

[Sal De Ban]

i think it's handy. we're planning on moving soon and it's really useful to be able to scope out potential neighbourhoods.

it won't be recording smells, you know

 

[EffinHard]

I use street View all the time to get around paris... Its amazing having every nook and cranny mapped.

 

[Flashy_McFlash]

Yeah this thing would've been really handy when looking for houses. The Hybrid view of Google Maps is okay but you're still often squinting at the screen, wondering if that's a yard or a driveway.

I saw one of the cars today while I was driving to school!

 

[rulz]

so thats what those cars are some weeks ago i followed 5 of them on 401 during some serious rain

they were speeding. going at around 120

 

[Snuffy]

The snow just melted, unmasking a Winter's worth of garbage and filth. The trees still look dead, and the grass is brown. Couldn't they wait just two more months to film the city?

Two months and it would have been beautiful...

{sob}

 

[OTIS]

leaves on the trees would have blocked a lot of stuff methinks.

 

[SlipperyPete]

just spotted a small blue car with a helluva camera rig going south on Bay at College...

 

[The Watcher]

I saw this car three times yesterday during my lunch while skating home and back, richmond and portland, queen and spadina and dundas and mccaul..

I'll have to check if I'm caught on Google when it comes available.

 

[acheron]

saw it downtown near King & Bay on the weekend.

 

[d.code]

I saw it today go racing up Mutual. I was staring right at it with a dumb look on my face. I hope i make it in.

 

[The Watcher]

I should of followed it and just been in every shot... ahaha it wasn't going fast at all.

 

[d.code]

This is what i saw.

Man i should have dropped my pants for something.

 

[LivingRoomPornstar]

I used this to find a club in Barcelona exactly. So handy.

[Spinsah]

I have been unproductive all morning!

 

[TaCk OnE?]

here's me walking with my bag open at dundas and ossington a few weeks ago.

so far I'm the 3rd person I know to find themselves this morning.

 

[Liability]

almost post

 

[Spinsah]

Nice sack, pal.

 

[d.code]

damnit.
I saw it go up Mutual Street but I think Im just out of sight.

 

[coleridge]

I have been unproductive all morning!

Yeah me too.

I checked out my old childhood neighbourhood in Ottawa to see how things have changed.

 

[m0ff]

Yeah me too.

I checked out my old childhood neighbourhood in Ottawa to see how things have changed.

Where?

I'm havin' a look @ my current neighborhood - Glebe.

 

[miss riot]

You guys actually want to be spotted by this intrusion?

I'm really against the whole idea & I think people should not be allowed to be on the Street View at all.

I'm not coming at this from some elementary Big Brother argument, but as someone who enjoys privacy and does think it's creepy that everything is out on display like that. I'm just surprised how well-received this whole notion is by everyone. A lot.

 

[Spinsah]

Would you be fine with the tool if faces were obscured?
