UK Google Street View update

[mart24x7]

Just noticed that Google have updated Street View to now include the rest of the UK - now I get to see my angry mother-in-law waving her handbag at the google car as it was driving down her private drive.. lol

[tomwarren Veteran]

Do you have a link to your angry mother in law or was that a joke ;)?

[what]

lol I can see myself in the window where I took pics of them coming around about this time last year. Good stuff.

[red.]

Yes, i can finally see my house. By doing a bit of detective work, it looks like the pictures were taken on 22nd September :p

[Rob Veteran]

Wow, they've really covered it well. Even small roads in my home town I've never have expected.

Ha, they didn't get my house, tucked round a corner that the car probably just thought... "Nah"

[Unimatrix Xero]

Wolverhampton isnt on street view yet :(

EDIT: just a little slow

[Colin-uk Veteran]

detail is pretty clear too. I also have a feeling the pics were taken around september time.

WOW :o This is amazing, I can see my house perfectly and work. They really have covered the UK well.. even some country roads that have no people for miles are on Street View.

It's quite unbelievable...

i think its just an excuse for the driver to have a paid sightseeing road trip

[AdzzzUK]

Bloody hell, that's one heck of an update... I live out in "the sticks" and every single country road around my area is fully mapped...

Time to start finding random stuff I think!!

[Inklin]

Wow you guys park on the curb / sidewalk? we'd get a big fine if we did that here....

A lot of places the roads are not big enough to park on whilst allowing room for other vehicles to pass safely. It is annoying for us people that have to walk on the paths though but it's not really the car owners fault.

You can do it as long as the curb isn't dropped (for drive ways). To be honest though you'll get in more trouble if you don't park on the curb because people get proper angry because they can't get by. :laugh:

[Singh400]

Holy crap, when did they drive past my house?!

[The_Wizard]

My house is on it too, but thats not really that surprising as its just off a main road.

There are certain road markings on roads. In residential areas you're allowed to park on the curb since there is literally nowhere else to park.

But if you see a double yellow line, your ass will be fined if you park over it.:shiftyninja:
