enzoom1 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Has anyone used the street view maps? It's really weird when you think about it... You can basically see any house anywhere in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozski Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Its cool. Checked out our flat today, and my road at home, and my partners parents place in Akl No different to walking down the street and seeing houses, its all public views *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianab Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Missed my street, maybe it looked a bit dodgy to drive down :-? Missed my old house too, they must have thought the end of the seal was the end of the road. :lol: Ian Edit: You can also link a view and send someone to a certain place on the map. This is the stream we used to go swimming and fishing in as kids. http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=-39.163342,174.023609&spn=0,359.945068&z=14&layer=c&cbll=-39.154403,174.007006&panoid=fqN1NamLWWbmzD9mz1I-iQ&cbp=12,195.9004664374963,,0,5.000000000000001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 wow, have been using Google Earth for the last year in GIS (Geographical Information Systems) but this is way cooler! although it doesn't have a flight simulator so you can fly over the land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southerrrngirrl Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Does it take like forever to load?? I had internet explorer open on my work computer for like 20 minutes just sitting on the page waiting for it to load. Accidentally closed out of it and couldn't be bothered going back. One of my workmates was on his way to or from Te Anau and saw the lil' google car. That picture will probably be of a big guy in a big Ford speeding past.

enzoom1 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Nah it doesn't take very long to load... could just be slow internet. Can you get it through google earth or do you have to go to google maps every time you want to see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I just go to google and type in street maps or street view. Yeah, I agree, its just probably slow work internet. I'll wait till I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these browsers are so much faster than IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
