This is great fun, I wonder when/how they collect the data. Its scary seeing your car in the drive. It must have been a while back as a house has been knocked down on my street this year but it is in the picture on google. Looks like it was some time during summer.

Scary to have every house in your street able for view.

Is that not normally possible in your street?

This is awesome. Wonder how many people are going to look up their house to find cars they don't recognise parked in the driveway because their better half is cheating on them

I wonder if they had to have their left foot cut off and be diddled by german scientists for that car.

The car I gave away last year is out the front of our place.

I got my subi out the front of my house. Not sure if I'm comfortable with it...

meh, the photos are well over six months old, if not 18 months (for around Adelaide).

I found it pretty amusing that one bike courier was caught in two different locations around the city

flipswitch · Post by **flipswitch** » 06 Aug 2008 03:43 pm

Apparently it took them 6 months to complete, and 10 millions images were taken.The satellite shots they're using now are quite old.They have gone back to their older ones for some reason, and they are definitely not 2008.

The picture they had of our house is from christmas 2007 as all the lights are up.

Lepo5 · Post by **Lepo5** » 06 Aug 2008 11:38 pm

I'd put my shot at 6mths old max. Southern Sydney.

It's like hot fuzz and disturbia combined. The neighbourhood watch now has increeased spypowers so they can plot your death more easily.
