Google street view hitting OZ again this month

[Don McKenzie]

"In a posting on Google's blog, product manager Andrew Foster said the
company was sending its Street View fleet of Holden Astras back on the
road to ensure its panoramic imagery was up to date and reflective of
what you would see if you visited an area in person.

"Starting from [this month] in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra,
Adelaide, Perth and parts of Tasmania, we'll be doing our best to cover
as many of Australia's public roads as we can during this summer," he
wrote."

Thank goodness, my place was under construction at the time, looks like a
mud pit.
Maybe I should hang an EEVblog sign out the front!

two google vehicles seen in Katherine NT on Monday. This is an area
previously well covered last year, so I think they are going to be an
ongoing thing.

I guess one day it may very well be: "Tomorrow, the World", when you
check the coverage in Europe, and other regions now.

Cheers Don...

Pity there is not a schedule - for if there was I could at least put a
"Google go home" sign out the front.

But it's *not* Google Earth, as you would have understood if you could read AND comprehend.
