duncanriley.com: Google Street View blurs my letterbox

  • Matt · 1 year ago
    I was pretty surprised with the amount of coverage Google actually provided, figured it would only be the city areas for the launch with the rest coming online over the next 6 months.

    I've managed to find all my old houses, places where I hung out, places where I smoked too much pot and passed out, and all sorts of randomly stupid things like that.

    Hi Duncan, StreetAdvisor.com.au is live with what we think is the first implementation of Google StreetView in Australia.

    Google even took some pictures of inside the ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania, I uploaded a few screenshots to skitch:

    Just go to google maps and type in "east devonport ferry terminal"

    haha, nah, can go more regional than Australind :p
    Bridgetown is covered, even lots of the semi-rural outskirts (though just missed my parents house).
    And north west WA, the Pilbara etc! They drove through Nullagine (near Marble Bar). I haven't seen that place since I left in 1992! :o

    Am also surprised by amount that is blurred. At my work, we have a sign on the fence with some afterhours mobile numbers, that's blurred. And half of the sign with our logo.

    Google street?? i would assume that there will be many privacy issues with this thing. Lawsuits and more lawsuits. More money for the lawyers....
