A few days ago, Google released their new "Street View" feature to Google Maps in the UK. This amazing technology allows you to see the actual street in a 3d perspective, and then you can have fun spinning around 360 degrees. It looks great, I can see myself and my car in it, but what do you think? There have been several complaints about privacy, but to be honest, I think they're just ridiculous.

Full Version: Google Street View In Uk
I think it's a great piece of technology. For a launch so far, they have got some decent coverage, however, I do suppose that they can expand it a bit more.
They got coverage in norway a long time ago, some people on a webpage said:
"Here is the Google car!"
Its a great thing if you want to have a look around a country before going there..

There's no street view anywhere around me 
Although I did go and look at the Bristol Hippodrome

They've pulled some images, but I guess that is to be expected. Personally, I have been waiting for Street View to come to the UK for ages. 
This is amazing. I saw some people making weird faces and acting like gangstas outside my school 
I think I saw myself with 2 other classmates but I'm not sure.
Very nice bit of tech

I guess it's ok. Can't really find a use for it. It's been out in the US for a long time, and I've only used it once to see what my friend's house looks like so I can find it.
The one of my neighborhood is from last fall 
Though, I suppose taking millions of pictures of individual streets every year would be hard...

Australia has had Google's Street View for quite a while and is a useful tool indeed. I've used it many times to find out what my friend's house looks like or if I need a street view of where to go etc.
It's about time they released it to the UK 
Hey! I can see my house from my house!

Lol, awesome thing to keep me entertained in business.
I've known this since it came out the other day but I've yet to use it. I'm currently having a look but it's not showing where I live due to being in Hobbit town..

Still it's a useful tool and a cure for boredom.

Ehh, Street View is a feature of both Google Earth and Google Maps.
