Did I hear that the Google Earth street view camera van was spotted in town today

[Kintyre Forum News]

Don't hold your breath. I saw it a couple of months ago in our village but nothing has appeared as yet.

sure they need to fuzz out peoples faces, car registrations etc, so it might be a while before it goes up

It's not live-as such. It takes pictures at street level and you can in a sense walk along a street and turn to view both sides of the street. Here in Glasgow it's been the hot topic. Checked my own address and previous ones and it the pics was taken Oct/Nov 08, as i could tell by my re-varnished front door and such like (the garden).

It is weird but really good. For example i can focus in to my house and see a table lamp which is on in our front room. My son's car with reg blurred etc.

I'm sure I saw it parked outside the Ailsa

The google car passed me a couple of days ago while I was crossing the road to feed some sheep. I could see this car coming along the road with a very large box on it's roof and thought WTF is that. GOOGLE, written in large letters on the side of the car gave it away. It went back up the road an hour or two later but the camera was lying down that time.

Saw the camera car on Thursday afternoon between Tarbert and Ardrishaig.

It's been in Campbeltown for weeks! It was in a wee accident and was in my husband's garage for repair. I never went in but had a wee look through it's window at all the stuff inside for filming. All looks a bit complicated!

Well spotted, Nomad. We had the Google car round our way a few weeks ago, too. I wonder how long it will be before the photos are online?

Get close enough and you can almost spinach between his teeth! Wait until they do google LIVE map.. where you can watch any location any time of the night or day anywhere in the world live. Wonder how far off something like that'll be.

They probably could do it already but would just cause a bit of aggro with loads of people... privacy etc... I think it would be amazing however...
