Basically a car with a camera on top, that takes 360 degree pictures. In some areas, you can see the camera shadow on the ground if the sun is at the right angle :)

[FlyingJesus]

omg you can see my car in one pic of my house but if you look at the other side it's DISAPPEARED and some granny is crossing the road, I call shenanigans and she must be stopped before she steals more cars.

Also pics are old I have a new fence ;| and my car is definitely not so clean

[dbgtz]

I wish I saw this when it came up my street.

[sammy]

Omg i can see my house!! giggulz

Its actually really clever how they do it ;D

[syko2006]

So it is, I can't believe they've done so much! :D

WOW, I REMEMBER WHEN I SAW THE CAR DRIVE PAST SO I GOT MY ASS OUT! I CAN NOW OFFICIALLY SAY MY BUM IS ON GOOGLE STREET VIEW! LMAOOOOO!

[Jordy]

[Caution]

I thought it was coming in a few weeks. I've done a few addresses and they're all on it, I'm surprised. :L

[Technologic]

Well the massive bush is still in front of my house and my neighbours new car is there so it mustve been in the past 6 months or so lol

[jackass]

This is great! :P

Google cars drove past me on numerous occasions, I just forgot where though. :(

[Hecktix]

it goes like 70% around my street, but not to my house lol

[GommeInc]

Does your house have a name, or is it a number? Just curious :)

[Seatherny]

They seem to have done a mass update.
They were doing Manchester in sections, now its all done.

[AlexOC]

Woo saw me house.

Was looking in my window and my families windows to see if i could see anyone. haha.

[DJ-Ains.T]

omg... it's well old. it's got my old car on it and everything.

[Smits]

It's actually got my house. Well the street behind my house.

Great detail as well.

[AgnesIO]

Obviously a lot of images re old - they could hardly get around the entire of the UK in 2 weeks lol..

[Jamiie]

i Didn't even realise but i thought they done my house today. But infact they done it last year
Cuz theres Flowers outside and i looked at my college
And there was Trees everywhere, with leaves on :P. so they done it a while ago round by me
but i recken its so cool. people are complaining about it though apparently like someplaces people are asking for there house to be removed

[Blinger1]

Im sure street view in australia has covered pretty much the whole population. Not including the deserts..

[Black_Apalachi]

Hahaha I just found my mate getting into his car, quality :)

[StefanWolves]

I saw it when t came down my street, i'm not on it though. :(

[Seatherny]

Woww those are big. I should PM this link to Tash.

[ecstasy]

haa, this is well good
pretty recent near me as well cause theres snow on the rooves opposite my house which melted last cause they dont get much sun

[Alkaz]

Haha lol I can remember last like september they went past me when I was on my way home from school, just found myself hehe.

[Japan]

I don't want to sound like a killjoy or anything but what is the point in streetview?

[AgnesIO]

To big up Google and it is the first map of its kind. It will be/(already is) on satnavs before long.

[Gibs960]

I put my school in and theres a bunch of women chattin on the corner, gossipers :D

[Mathew]

Wow, I really didn't think my house would be on, or my village for that matter. We're surrounded by fields and nobody knows of it :P Very cool indeed.

[triston220]

My Dad is on Google street view with our car being towed away on the back of an RAC truck after it broke down. :P

[Charlottay!]

i discovered this on monday during the dullest media lesson ever!

must have been a strange day cause it was SUNNY in stoke!

[AgnesIO]

Omg found my Granpa on there walking to his house in Norfolk :D

[ihatehash]

This happened along time ago here in New Zealand, we have been 98 percent covered for nearly a year and a half?

[AgnesIO]

Tis because hey are doing it country by country.

Turkey isn't done yet :( Most of Spain has been for ages though.

[StefanWolves]

This happened along time ago here in New Zealand, we have been 98 percent covered for nearly a year and a half?

That is because there has been protests over here which have delayed it, massively.

[AgnesIO]

Omg just looked down where I get off school bus :l Streetview has captured people gettingoff the stop like 200 yards from me but not my stop. Scam xD

[GommeInc]

They seem to do off-road quite well too. This is a footpath on the boundaries of the De Hoge Veluwe near Apeldoorn in Holland. This link even includes cyclists :P

[Molly.22]

I can see most of my road, but it cuts off the end and I can't see my house :'(

[Special]

HAHA i can see me at school LOL

shame it's so laggy though.... :@

[Seatherny]

I can see most of my road, but it cuts off the end and I can't see my house :'(

They have a habit of not going right to the end which ruins it.

[Grainger@CUFC]

It was about April when they did round here. Fixtures board at Brunton Park only shows the last two home fixtures of last season so it was early-mid April. Think it was the Easter holidays as well.

[luce]

yay i can sleep well in bed tonight now :)! have the fixed it now so you can't see as much though because i know there was all the controversy i don't get why you need google earth, maps and now street?!

[danzooo]

I was amazed at how extensive it is, it goes right past my house. Quite recent too, both my mum and dad's cars are there! Mines isn't though, so it's not THAT recent!

Hugely impressive though.

[jrh2002]

It only did our road in the last 3 weeks :o a house has just gone up for sale and the new board is outside. Its really good and they censored my number plates but not the car opposite :s Maybe there should be a thread of funny streetview pics before google remove them.

[Kardan]

My village is covered, taken around Autumn due to the trees.

It's taken at lunch time, as there's about 100-150 kids from college at the local shops, which is rather amusing as I was scrolling down the road trying to find me, didn't in the end but did find many of my friends despite their faces being blurred :)

[Blinger1]

on the aussie one, i haven't found anyone. Couldn't find my car anywhere :S!!!

[joshuar]

My one is really old as my car has an L plate on it and I passed my test about 17 months ago. But my car is also at my dad's work (as we share it), and then it's on there again outside my nan's house. It was parked in the right place at the right time it seems.

I've been passing so much time at college on it, i'm now really far behind on work.

[StefanWolves]

As I said, it has been delayed because of human rights idiots etc.

[AlexOC]

I was peering through my window to see if i could see anyone hehe

[Melsia]

The area I live in isn't covered :( gutted
but omg it covers my school and theres a group of my friends stood in the village :D

[syko2006]

This has to be said... pics or didn't happen.

It most certainly did happen, I'm on the left. :P

[brandon]

Image taken when a flashy car was outside my house, nice one.

[Black_Apalachi]

It's too hard to find yourself other than obvious places! I mean someone I know found themself just crossing a random side road. All the ones around my area seem to have been done when nobody was out either lol
