Well, they've done it.

Pretty much the whole of the UK is now available on Google street view from this week. 95% coverage and an additional 210,000 miles of roads. Pedestrianised areas being caught on a tricycle.

So...............check your houses out!!! If you like it then OK, if not, or if you think the local crim pop is about to letterbox your house for the keys to your Pork, then move them, or ask Google to remove your houses.

Me? Looks like I was on holiday at the time - it was sunny, and there are no cars around :)

I saw the van in town when they were surveying last April, so they have caught me crossing the street outside a pub having parked the Pork just round the corner :D

Driveway is clear at home as we were both at work, so no worries there. I think its brilliant :D

I'm on it - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 8,,1,16.93 and I'm stood on the drive in front of the Porsche with my hands on my hips going "Cheeky frog" (it was a French registered Astra). You can see my neighbour leaning on his porch, and his Merc on the next drive too.

Criminals will love this.

They didn't drive into my road for some reason so no cars on show, but a good one of the front of my house.
My sister in law is on it opening her front door :-) Funny.

They seem to do a lot at weekends? My office car park is empty.

Wow, they even came up to Scotland. Must have been a couple of years ago since it was done. My sons MG ZR is in the drive and no Pork. At least the grass was cut :lol:

I just checked they have even done our remote little hamlet now I dont believe it ! , they didnt come down our track though , good job I'd have charged the nosey blighters :x

A colleague at work showed me that his house was clearly shown with his cleaning lady putting the key in his front door ( he says she's the cleaning lady anyway :wink: ) , the detail is ridiculous really isnt it.

Ooh my previous 928 S4 was on the drive when the camera car passed, in one of its rare forays outside the garage where I fussed over her. Must have been a fast shutter speed <g>
