Google Street View

You may or may not know this.... It has expanded to the villages!

I found my old car (circa spring 2009) in two different villages at the same time

 

Google Maps

(keep zooming in on the road you want to view, eventually it will load street view)

I have been using Google StreetView for giving estimates on smaller jobs. Saves me driving to the site twice.

 

Great service from Google.

You don't have to zoom in, to get access to streetview. Simply search for an address, click the small red drop-shaped letter on the map, and select "more" from the pop-up menu. Now select "Street View" and hey presto! you get the street view. From here you can rotate/tilt, move around and zoom.

 

You can also get the link (URL) to the exact Street View you are looking at, by clicking "Link" at the top right hand corner of the street view image (as you can for ordinary Google mape). Comes in handy, when describing a job to someone via email.

It amazes me how clear this is

 

 

I just wonder tho how many thieves use it already, Can check access etc, Even zoom in and see what kind of lock is on a gate, Or am i just being abit cynical.

No, that is not cynicism. That's paranoia

 

But notice how license plates and faces are blurred so they are not recognisable.
