Google Street View

How do you work it?

I find the place I'm looking for then try and drop the little man on it, but it doesn't work!? :(

It's wierd, I get the same problem, one minute it works then its off again. Remember theres only some parts that have been photographed and placed onto the street view. Main places like London, Sydney...etc. Cross fingers it wont be long till it's all filled...if they dont get complaints. :)

The way I do it is on the website where you scroll down and theres a pic of Sydney, I click that then zoom out from the little map on the right hand side and drop my little man into another country and zoom in to put it in the place i want. Sorry it's not explained very well. x

u get the man and hover it over where u wanna see the street of and if it goes blue tht means that its been done. if not then gutted.... :)

Once you have dragged the little yellow man to the map, it should automatically go to street view.
Only certain cities have been pictured on it though, so it is possible you are searching somewhere which hasn't been set up.

I believe you also need Adobe Flash (think that's what it is..) installed to view it, but you should get a pop up asking you to download it.

Good luck.

Is there a list of where has been done mate?

[lew!]

When you drag it over, There needs to be a blue line over the road that has street view. Thats what i found anyway :P

Yeah I've realised that bit.

Some places dont have Street View yet.

So if you cant drag the man over, then your area hasnt got street view yet.

[:Technical]

Some places dont have street view also you cant place the street view 'little man' in a park or private area.

[e5]

Just search places u wanna see on street view, if it the area goes blue when the man is over it, it's done, if not then it's not done. You don't need a list tbh.

I don't like it, well I do and I dont, you can maybe see me naked outside.

[WootzehSCFC]

It's a good tool for spies

They say they block out registration plates on cars, if you ever spot a tow truck you can see they actually don't block out the registration plate if the car is being towed.

[Marucho]

Yeah just drag the yellow man to a road or go somewhere and click the arrows to move.

Thats so weird i had a dream about it last night. I was walkin down the road and loads of cars and helicopters taking pictures came from nowhere. it was well scary :(

I know some places in Edinburgh have it, it was in the paper because there was pics of kids walking home from school and that.
