I've been waiting for this day for ages.

Can you see your house?

Which bits of the UK ARE on?

Rural Wiltshire certainly isn't.

That's ultrafab! Except that when I get to my house, it goes wrong and switches to a back street. Am I a tramp?

Amazing! I can't see my house yet, but I've been looking around London and it works brilliantly. I imagine I'll be able to see mine soon though, I've seen the Google car loads.

It's just the major cities at the moment London, Bristol and Birmingham included.

I wonder if you will be able to spot yourself at the locations you saw the Google car?

An interesting website for you here.

I got quite excited as the yellow man lit up in my area, so to speak, but the blue roads don't appear. Not sure whether that means StreetView is imminent for my road or not but it's interesting to wander round other parts in the meantime.

Hmph. Apparently, Wakefield isn't worthy of being StreetViewed.

It got my street but fuck it to buggery if I never saw the thing.
