How does google maps do that? it says click anywhere where there is blue on a street? There's loads of blue. Is there some idiot with a camera doing 4 steps then spinning around? Amazing stuff that street level stuff. views not too bad either lol

They are old, Mark. Those women you were looking at this morning were probably "captured by Google" anything from days to months ago. At the time you posted it, it was 7am-ish here in Florida, so it would have been about 4am in California. They were definitely not out there sunbaking then.

Rose i know there not "Live" images, i'm just curious how the hell they do it? On the map there are streets and streets you can visit and pan the image around in 360 degree's. Its mind boggling how its done? As i cant imagine how they have done it ???

Likewise! I mean, that's NOT a sattelite image is it?
It's clearly taken at street level.
I guess Google throw in a few of these pics and then generate some (what's it called?) (viral?) images - to make it look like they are in control of the planet?
Ooooh - new conspiracy theory!

It is mind blowing when you try to even try to understand what's happening or how its done. 10,000 people given digital cameras at mid day lol

Yes I did. Which is why I told Giz that I need to hit you over the head with a bat.
Perhaps a bat is a bit of overkill - you were trying to be nice after all.
Maybe a bucket of water?

Yes interesting, isn't it?
I suspect there are 'certain' areas that can be accessed.
I mean - it's clear that these pics are at street level, don't you agree?

I just asked my hubby (who knows everything about everything), and he says it's probably satellite images. He says they are very high resolution and can capture images along the "skin" of the earth. Then he said something about "mosaic" which got way too technical for me, and I sorta tuned out.

My area is fairly established in google, in fact, I'm quite suprised that with the zoom level they allow for my area, that there isn't a street level... Then you can all watch me smoke in my garage...

"You watch Eastenders????" or
"You admit to watching Eastenders????"

It's banned in my house and has been for about 5 years now.
Rose, it's a soap on the BBC but it's the most depressing, misserable TV on the planet. Nothing but fighting, shouting, back stabbing, etc, etc, etc. but definately NOT entertaining. Why anyone in their right mind would want to sit down in front of this crud 4 or 5 nights a week is beyond me.
