Google Streetview-Spot any Minis yet?

Post by mgb1978 »

As a lot of you are probably aware Google Streetview (Irish version) went live today.
Just wondering who will be the first to spot a Mini on it.
The one parked outside your own front door doesn't count !!!

It looks like Wesley McCloughery but it could be his twin brother Alistair.

I notice the same as yourself, my nextdoor neighbours Punto is sitting in the drive and she passed (r.i.p) over a year ago now.

They did all the photography from around march to july last year.
They then had to "blur" car reg numbers and peoples faces. Also they had to stitch together all the photos to make it look (fairly) seamless.
Although this was mostly done automatically there must have been a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes.
What is most surprising is that all this is free despite the huge cost to produce it.
