Just spotted this while browsing:



A Triumph I believe, but I'm not sure of the model.

looks to be a Triumph Stag...

Yeah, that seems to be right.

Anyway, I just spotted this in Nice, France and found it to be very odd:

cool. I like going on google street view.

The google street view is a good thing. I used it to be prepared for my trips through L.A. and it helped me indeed when I was going to the Santa Monica Pier. Beside an intersection of the Lincoln Blvd. there is a significant sign that remembered me to turn left because I saw it before at home on street view.

How does it work, identical like Google Earth?
How actual are the pictures, shown there? Did they keep the pics, they have made one time?

If yes, maybe my car is visible, too.
I've met the Street-View-Opel Astra in the town of Gladbeck, in the Schützenstraße or Sandstraße, close to the LIDL-market.
But I don't know, when it was.
It was a special moment for my car, too - in that second it got a special mileage (I forgot it, too), either 222 222 km or 250 000 km.

I met the google-mobile too. I encountered the Astra in Dresden. But street view is not available for Dresden as yet. Probably within the next months.
All you have to do is log on to maps.google.com, search a city and when the little men on the top left of the map is yellow, you can drag it on a street.
The date of the recordings is very different. Here is a 2008 Jeep Liberty in front of the Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas. Thus this must be not too long ago.

Thanks for the tips, I will try it.

Perhaps it's the same like at Google Earth. I've seen, that the pics out of bigger towns are much newer than from smaller villages. The smaller the town/village, the older the pics.

If I compage "my" locations (bigger town, where we had lived before to the big village, where live now and to the tiny village, where my grandmother had lived), the difference of the pic's age was up to 3 years!

It seems, that actually Germany is not visible. I couldn't find any yellow man on the maps, not even for Berlin.

While almost every (not too small) town from the U.S. is already available, we still have to be patient to enjoy street view for German cities.
