One of the massive problems w/ the housing fallout, is that monied investors are located far from the cheapest real estate. NY-Boston investors are busy, and also incredibly far rom small midwest cities. Its a great tool for visualizing & connecting w/ residents & business owners in the neighborhoods of the properties they've purchased.
Cities can map their neighborhoods bi/tri-annually to showchase the recovery of neighborhoods -- a big selling point for home buyers who sign the final mortgage.
Google should develop 20+ of these, and contract them to cities and municipalities. Local govts could map their neighborhoods, for easy viewing by prospective real estate buyers/developers. The same local govts can mash up their real estate ownership data with the street view maps to show what real estate is available for sale, the name and contact info of local businesses.
im in milton keyens in england and this morning when i was watching gmtv they were talking about the new google maps and i saw 2 cars drive past with a large camera on top of one of them standing on a tri pod is this how google maps got there images??????
they dont blur everythin out, i found a couple of license plates, some people not blured and loads of other things, it is terrible but atleast i ain't on it ;D
They drive around in the streets by car, with a large camera on it. That camera is a 3D camera which takes loads and loads of pictures and they use those pictures for google street view. I think it's updated once a few months, don't know sure because they'lll probably give priority to streets were there aren't any pictures available of then updating the ones they already have pictures off. Google maps itself has a satellite view.
oh crap now my friends are gunna c my house BUT I TOLD THEM I HAVE A MANSION NOO!!!! CURSE U GOIOGLE EARTH!!!..heh joking joking niceee program very usefull
i actually believe i went past google peeps taking photo's one day... they go about every 5 metres then take another photo... insane they went that far.
Every day I'm loving Google more and more. Best search engine? - Google. Best web-based mail? - Gmail. Best maps, directions? - Google. Best organized news? - Google. And now, street view, whoa, just amazing. Keep up the good work, google!
Why is it that I feel more and more like Google is taking over the world. Ahhh, cool tech like this! Keep Gmail and all the cool features with google accounts and I'm down :-)
though i rarely take walks outside, i often 'walk around' on google's street view when im bored. ... maybe thats embarrassing to admit, but whatever i love street view!
As usual Google is the most innovative of all companies (totally agree with dctrex). I love street view! It's not just fun for virtual touring but I can actually see where something is that I need to find. It makes it so much easier. If I had one wish, it would be better resolution, but hey... this is a great start!
Gotta hand it to Google! They keep coming up with cool stuff not rehashing warmed over crap like some software company, who shall remain nameless, that has the initials MS!
first time i saw this i was like... WHOA! What the...!? IS this for real!? Then I checked if I could see the hotel where I stayed at in Austin.. and peek-a-boo.. I see you! ahahhahaha! NICE! I hope the views change realtime.. but I guess that won't be until the 20 years or so? when ever corner has a cam...

Thank´s a lot for this idea! Congratulation! I read of you in Época magazine in Brazil. Now I will not lose more on the way... oh yes!
