Google street view.

[Atticus_Finch]

Is anyone's golf course /club on google street view yet?
The van that does this must have stopped about 50yds from mine so you can't see it.
Fortunately my house isn't on it yet either, and when it is I will be reporting it to get it taken off.
Anyone else got any views on this new developement from Google?

Fortunately my house isn't on it yet either, and when it is I will be reporting it to get it taken off.

Why?

 

[Atticus_Finch]

Same reason I close my blinds at night.
A thing called privacy.
Seems to be a forgotten right these days.

 

[Sneds]

Why do you think people would look at your house anyway?

 

[Atticus_Finch]

I don't think anyone would look at my house in particular, I would rather that option wasn't available to them that's all.
If they're that interested then they can make the effort and come and see it for themselves.
These things can see over 6ft fences into people's gardens. Those fences were put up for a reason.

Same reason people want to know what every celebrity is doing every minute of the day. Because they're nosey

 

[Sneds]

Lol, I guess I just don't see what the big deal is. If my place was on there, I wouldn't care.

I don't give a stuff about it. It isn't like I have a neon sign saying murph lives here. In fact, if they give me advanced notice, I might strike a naked pose in the garden for a laugh.

I do find it funny they are blanking out the faces of people in billboard adverts though.

It is not something I will be looking at, but I don't object to it either. I would have thought the one way to get noticed on it would be to have your house blanked out. It wouldn't surprise me if you start getting google tourists who spend their time visiting blanked out spots, in order to upload their own photos instead (you can apparently still do this).

Whats even funnier is the lad who's painted an 18ft picture of a cock on the roof of his mam & dads house to try and get the image onto google maps

I bet if you looked hard enough some proberly(sp?) already has.

Were you trying to write 'probably'?
Good luck with the A level English mate

 

[Atticus_Finch]

So, Let's get this straight then.
You don't mind someone coming and taking photographs of your property, garden, kids playing, car, in your front window, then posting these photographs on the internet for all and sundry to see without your permission?
Have I got that right?

Yeah spot on.

Bob is going through the menopause right now, just take him with a handful of salt

 

[Atticus_Finch]

OK, I may be way out on this one, so it's going to a poll.
I'll keep it simple.

 

[Twire]

I think you need a "don't care either way" option.

 

[Spoff]

I don't get why they are doing it tbh, they've not done my Town as yet.

Woman at works house is on and you can see right into her living room.

Not sure I like that idea.

 

[Sneds]

You def need a 'not bothered option' because I can't actually say I'm 'for' google street maps, because I will (probably) never use it. But I'm certainly not against it.

My house was on this, clear as day, together with my car and its number plate. I have reported this to Google and they are "investigating".

 

[Atticus_Finch]

To paraphrase George W Bush, "If you're not for it then you're against it"

Also, I don't know how to edit the poll.
