I can’t wait for the conspiracy theorists to get going on this one – Google have released Street View on their maps in Australia. Unlike earlier releases, this is a massive and dense coverage… amazing detail.
The face blurring technology is in full swing, and not very discriminate – blurring both the wheels on my car, as well as heaps of other vaguely face like things.
Anyway, I’m pleased I wasn’t imagining things when I spotted the Google car last March.
Woot! Finally!
We’ve been working behind the scenes at Fairfax to make it happen on domain.com.au too 😛
Check it out http://www.domain.com.au/streetview (are we first to market?)
Some odd omissions though; a couple of large blocks of the suburb of Hampton didn’t get visited, while all around it did.
