thats pretty awesome.

out of curiousity, makes me wonder who took all those pictures to be able to put it all together(?)

cbrahs

who has the time to do this? what is the purpose of doing this?

Thats the same as google street view.

Andy505

Its meant to help people looking for places, directions, seeing where you are going and what the place looks like before you get there.

Google did it.

They had cars drive around with cameras on top. They're trying to map the world from a street view perspective.

No street views available for my current house nor the one I grew up in. That's small town Montana for you I guess.

If you look at the bottom of the page those are images taken from Google. At least mine was.

wonder what that pays to drive around aimlessly around the US and take pictures. they need a few dodges out there with roof mounted cams and a set of stacks blowing some "shadows"

I just thought you guys would enjoy that

it is very cool yet disturbing. being in the theft prevention business, i can see some dirtbags using such a thing as a "tool" for them to use against an individual. nothing like the ability to recon your target in the comfort of their own home.

i think this one can stay here. we can sure turn this around to a black helicopter pre-spy, conspiracy theory thread. lol

I actually saw one of the cars. The camera was on top and there was a Google logo on the side.

If I remember right, it was one of the 'enviro friendly' hybrids. At the time I figured Google was trying to make a statement. (Did I bring it back close enough to be in the political forum? )
