Well I was in the middle of doing a book return, it had the option of doing a street view for the ups location, so I thought "I wonder if I can do this with my house?" Well I could, and then looking at it I saw a gold truck.... So, the question is how old are these pictures, and how did they get a picture of my house like that? Probably just some sophisticated satelite thingy.

The age of the stuff depends, it's usually within a year. They get the pictures by driving a car around with a 360 degree camera strapped to it.

its pretty old with most of the images. Many feel is an invasion of privacy (say hello to google). Basically a Google van drives around to capture the images.

Gawd, just imagine how tedious that photoshopping job must be. Mindboggling.

I wish they had the crack (or something like that) deal on the south side of Chicago google street view up. That was awesome.
