There was an article in the paper here a couple weeks ago saying Google are now doing to go round on pushbikes getting areas they couldnt get to by car - zoos, botanical gardens, pizzas, that kind of thing. That'll be awesome!

By "pizzas" I clearly meant "piazzas", erm erm.
Trayce, they're already doing this. See upthread a few posts.

Yeah that kew gardens thing was what made me think of it. Theyve not finished it here yet but I'm looking fwd to being able to see some cities pedestrian plazas, inside taronga and melb zoo, and so on.

URL tells you everything you need to know.
The photos, showing the child's mother or nanny helping him dress and a man looking on, have sparked fears that paedophiles will have a new way to search for photos or targets online.
A MAN LOOKING ON.

Google had blurred the child's face but not the registration plate of the family's car, making it possible to trace their address.

Does any country in the world wring it's hands about streetview as much as us Brits?
Google's Street View has come under fire after a new survey shows that two-thirds of people find the images 'intrusive' and 24 per cent think it is a 'service for burglars'.

Is the 3D button on Streetview an April Fools joke?
― nate woolls, Thursday, 1 April 2010 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link
ha! don't have any 3d glasses to test whether it's actually being applied "for real"

A "View In 3D" option has been added to Google Books as well, so surely it has to be a hoax?

apj or not, it still works pretty cool. some scenes work better than others there are some dodgy parts.

It randomly shows you places on Streetview. Except it's not all that random, as it gets stuck in certain regions.

for me that region is the ohio valley
