    I saw that, but they only mentioned it being used for Tom Tom. I'm not sure if Google is using the same setup or not.

    They mapped my block last summer/fall, I think. There's a large dumpster in the pic that was only there for a renovation last year and isn't there anymore.

    The whole things a bit creepy and makes me paranoid....
    I want to buy more curtains!!

    I just discovered this thing myself on Monday. I couldn't get the little man to look directly at my building, though.

    I think once this feature really gets going it will be quite helpful in scoping out prospective rentals in neighborhoods you haven't been to before.

    God, how did we live before the Internet?

    I think he's the brother of the little AOL guy.

    When I tried it again I got a better angle facing my doorway. There's somebody walking past with a shopping bag.
