Apparently they didn't get out our way for updated ones yet. The foundations for some of the houses on the other side of the lake aren't even in and they've been there for 2 years this summer.

I assume you're looking at the satalite images, which have been around for 3+ years in some cases (Soldier Field is still under construction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 So what other places besides Chicago can you view the streets of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick look shows San Fran, LA, LV, Portland, San Diego, Pheonix, Tuscon, Denver, Houston, Chicago, Orlado, Miami, Pittsburgh, Philly, and New York.

There is that ugly side, but it will also do wonders for people looking for landmarks and such, or just to be able to see where exactly they are going. I keep finding myself having to drive to clubs I have never been to before, and driving city streets looking for building fronts, signs, addresses sucks. If I had a snapshot of what exactly I was looking for, that would help immensly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even more odd is that half of our subdivision is updated on the sat maps. The school is complete and they also show the new HS on Naper/Plainfield being built, but the houses on the other side of our lake don't exist yet. Strange.

I checked our building, and the picture is VERY recent. Like August or September recent. New building just down our street looks almost like it does now, in terms of phase of construction. This is uber-cool. And kind of creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I saw the van go by on Congress in late June / early July. I was hoping to see myslef, but don't. There's a couple blogs out there that post funny things found by the Google Street View - a couple making out in a park, a half naked guy walking down the street, reflections of the van they use, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deck at Rosebud was repaired in early September and the pic reflects that with the view from the bridge. I agree creepy-cool. The technology is amazing.

DBAHO Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I was annoyed with Phoenix they didn't go as far north as Peoria / Sunrise. Hopefully they add more streets and places in the future, and different countries as well. It's a pretty cool innovation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
