Drive around America's biggest cities in a black VW Beetle with a huge panoramic camera bolted to the roof, and you're sure to see something unusual along the way
I have started using the trial program yesterday and find it very interesting and enjoyable to drive along the roads using my mouse and look at the views. The buildings are clearly shown and would be a useful program for looking at places before you actually visit them.
Goggles mission to organize the world's information with thousands of street level images in America's biggest cities is causing quite a stir. Privacy fears of intrusion are being hailed at the search engine giant as they drive around in a black VW Beetle with a huge panoramic camera as thousands of bystanders are captured unawares.
