They havent done my house or road yet because I live out in the sticks and so me and the sheep are safe for now

Work wise, I can see my street where the office is in London but no sign of me having a crafty *** outside

Wonder who else I can stalk

I looked up my old house but the drive was empty, still had the For Sale board up so it must have been around July/August last year when they did it.

I would imagine that Macc will be on there soon as i've seen one of their cars.

Black foreign plated Astra with a 5ft black pole on the roof with lots of camera type thingies on top of that.

My house is on it with a pic of my old Scooby. I remember following a black 307 with a big pole and camera sticking out it.

Looks like mine was done on a thursday in April/May, judging by the fact that the bins are out, and the blossom on the trees.

The little man above the map zoom is orange if street view is available.

if the little man is orange you can actually drag him over the streets and if the street highlights when you move over it, its been mapped, otherwise he'll have a green shadow.

Just been looking at my old neighbourhood in Japan and boy has it changed!

To see where is covered, zoom out, drag the orasnge man out onto the map and the blue shaded areas are the ones that are on it.
Mostly big just cities so far - London, Southampton, Bristol, Oxford, etc.
