    Saw The Googlemobile Today

    The Google Maps mobile I mean - neat. I'd never seen it before. I don't know if they run around updating everywhere or somewhere all the time, but it's about time - our city is over five years old on Google Maps.

    Does anyone know about their refresh - like when they update the content on Maps?

    I'm not even sure if it was shooting - it was going at a good clip; I imagined to keep their resolution choice they'd be kinda puttering along...

    :D

      I think it takes awhile, my daughter saw it a month ago or so on our street but still has the old street view from like 3years ago.

          Close - more like 2 years, 7 months...

          Thanks to Edward Snowden, we now know they do.

          Here's the links:

          http://goo.gl/maps/th4tx

          http://goo.gl/maps/TWq0P

          That's just the two, showing I spotted it, and followed it down the street - nobody else was turning or noticing...

          I thought I waved at it, pretty sure, but maybe they cut those things out, or omitted it because I was holding a cigarette in my waving hand...

          :D

              Twice? In how many years?

              Also, did you make a point of remembering where you were?

              I posted here just to be sure heh.

                I've seen the Google mapping car twice in our local area.

                But when I checked streetview - I wasn't visible either time in those locations. (shrug)

                    I'm on Google maps. Saw the car running around, flipped a u-turn, and followed it for a few blocks.

                      The house on the other side of the street is where Helen Mirren grew up - It even has a little plaque on it.....
                      Yay - I found the edit sig option!..

                          On the UK one, they must have gone past my Mums house twice, cause if you come 'Up The Road' - She is the first house - You just see an empty garden.

                          But if you come from 'around the corner' theres a taxi in the driveway about to leave, and my Mum disappearing through the front door

                          It used to be dated as 2007 - Certain places have Xmas decorations up, but its still the same shot - It just now says 2011 - Guess thats the update?

                                they need to drive those cars through downtown Vegas more with all the changes happening recently. the map & street view still shows buildings that have long ago been demolished and replaced with new ones.

                                  We have a new mega hospital that shows up on Google Earth when you zoom in...but disappears and reverts back to a brown farmer's field when you slightly zoom out.
