   hey, just for your information… these images are not being taken from the satellite.. it was revealed couple of days that google is using cars and vans which were found parked at some random street and they are taking these pictures and sending back to the google maps… here is the source (http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/the-google-street-view-vehicle-revealed/)

   now if you look closely, you will be able to read Google logo on it’s side wind shield. I read in another source that this picture was mistakenly taken by another such google car, which i guess they are not trying to reveal.. I know, there are many questions arising, like why would they put the logo of Google on the car if they are intending to keep it secret… Well, Google can answer that!

   aatif its obvious its not taken by satellite since its eye level view.

   here is more information on how they did it

   also amazon had something similar with A9 maps a while back but it wasn’t as pretty and easy to use as this google version of street view.

   here are some user submitted interesting spotting.

   It’s similar in someway to the machine in the movie Deja Vu, google is changing the way we look at technology.

   Timecode if google can do this then the government probably has something similar to the contraption in deja vu :)
