I hate this, i put my address and it shows me a different house on the road.

But this tool is amazing. Its very clear as well..

Wow I'm amazed, I'm a good 8 miles away from Nottingham but right on the border of street-view, I really can't believe such a small road appeared on it. Very good quality photos too, after considerable 'looking for clues' my mum and I have located the dates they came round at mid-August.

Theres a school bus outside one of the houses near my house, very funny.
Then theres a geezer in a scooter.

They blurred number-plates

I saw some guy taking pictures the other day and I was wondering what it was for Shows my house, school etc.

That's not it, it's a car driving around on the roads with a 360-degrees camera on top of it.

Here's an example:


This photo in central Nottingham shows it's shadow quite well too:

in my area it looks like it was taken late summer last year.

every road around my house is completely covered, except like just outside my house .
