I was driving around a few months back and remember seeing a google earth vehicle driving around with cameras all over it. I was driving along side it tripping out on all the camera and electronics stuff packed onto this vehicle. So i remembered that day after seeing some google earth video and decided to go have a look. Sure enough , there I am . In a work vehicle , can tell by the auction writing on the windshield , looking right into the camera. I am driving the trailblazer in the white shirt.

So i started wondering if anyone else had seen this vehicle driving around their town and found themselves on Google Earth?

I thought you meant literally. Check this story out:


QuoteA 10-year-old in Worcester gave neighbours a fright when her child's play was caught on Google Street View.





It has emerged that a girl whose apparently lifeless body was spotted on the Google service had simply fallen over while playing with a friend near her home.

The horrifying image of Azura Beebeejaun scrawled across the pavement in Middle Road, Worcester, gave neighbours a shock and they contacted the police and local paper. It is thought the image was captured by a Google camera last summer with the picture going live on the internet in March.

A spokeswoman for Google said anyone who was unhappy with an image shown on Street View could ask for it to be removed or blurred.
The spokeswoman said: "The imagery in Street View represents a snapshot in time of Britain's streets and is no different to what anyone might expect to see for themselves around the country. "Sometimes that means our cars inadvertently capture odd or inappropriate moments as they drive past," she added.

Funny - Google Earth has 3 different timeframes recorded on my place. The high view is very recent, the zoomed in view is a little older, and the street view is more than 2 years old.

Yeah, when I look at street view from my old house, I can see myself getting something out of my 4runner.
