A couple of weeks...
Err some time back I posted a KML and picture of an area that was very interesting to me asking for some opinions of the place and never got any feedback.
Well out of frustration and on a whim I clicked on the street view thingee in GE and to my surprise I found this...
Now I was under the impression that street view was just that.This is out on a field with grass. Sidewalks with people walking around.
So I went looking round the world for other places and found a few more.
Very few.
I was quessing maybe a push cart or one really big quy with a backpack.
ew nu
Really hoping this is not just a passing fancy and GE gets more places in their street views
How totally thoughtless of me
I even broke the golden rule of inventors
Write the instruction manual first then make the prototype
If you go to Google Earth and zoom in close you will see a figure in the upper right corner
When you click and hold the figure there may be highlights on streets and other places

Drag the figure down to the highlighted areas and release it, it will go into what is called Street View
In these cases, it is not a street but photos on paths, trails, hallways and even rivers


Due to security and monetary reasons they probably will not be doing this in major tourist areas
Till then I just keep seekin
