Holy heck! I'm in Google maps street view!

[mattian]

I was out on a little joy ride not too long ago, just a little blat on my local streets and I remember passing this car with a funny looking camera mounted on the roof. I thought to my self at the time "I wonder if thats the google maps car" I had heard on the news that the "Street view" dimension was coming to little old NZ. and,..... sure enough, when I checked the street.
Woodcote drive, Marlborough, Auckland.

Holy crap.. first time actually looking at the street view.

Of all the days...

Didn't have my bike parked on the curb like usual

Didn't have the sports car I used to own sitting out on the street either.

Crap and dammit.. wheres my internet fame?

Edit--

Is there any reason why the street view part of Google maps doesn't work on my computer? I feel like I'm missing out on something...

[Cajun]

can you fail at the internet hitcher,

google didn't like you correcting there spelling mistakes so block you from there toolbox

That explains it. I knew there had to be a reason.

That explains it. I knew there had to be a reason.

Just try a different street (some are mapped and some are not), and also give it a min or two to download. I get the feeling this is new and novel... with a lot of people wanting to download stuff at the mo - the servers are struggling to cope.

It might be technical at your end of course - but unlikely.
