Annoyingly it seems to have not driven past my house and turns at the junction just before hand. There are some parts of Dundee where the middle of a street is on but not the ends, I wonder if they were missed or whether it's just not been processed yet. I hope they send the cars out again to fill in the gaps.

I expect uproar in the papers tomorrow :)

I always like looking at France as it was the closet thing to Britain looks wise, I always found it more interesting then the endless roads in the states for example where you just end up on a road in the middle of nowhere.

I've just visited all of my old houses. Even the ones that were in the middle of nowhere are on there. Now I'm looking at all the roads that I've always wanted to go down to see what's down them, but could never actually be bothered to.

I saw the Google car driving around my area, I think I can see the car I was in driving past when I saw it... I think

If you can't see a particular place try http://www.seety.co.uk/ it's the same sort of thing, and not quite as good but it has been to places that Google haven' yet

None of my home town is on yet. But my uni house is, and you can see in through the window, which is a little worrying.

Odd that they haven't covered much of the UK, when it launched here just about every major city had the majority of streets. The turn-by-turn directions are particularly good.

The only annoying bit now is that we don't have any of the tram/train/bus information that they have in other cities and countries.

I saw the car driving around Ipswich today. I had seen it yesterday I think but had no idea what it was (the logo was a little on the small size) and it was too far away.

Looking around my part of Liverpool, no registrations that are unblurred as such - just badly stitched photos which show them from wonky angles where they are still legible.

The murals on gable walls in the less salubrious areas of Belfast often feature bad paintings of thankfully dead terrorists.

Google's face blurring software has obscured them. :lol:

It was pointed out to me that the logo on Meridian's old studios was blurred as it thought that was a real face too :)
