Google Maps, Maps Me and I Map Them! Smile, You’re on Google Cam!

Morning Folks!!


So I am sitting at home in my office yesterday and a weird car with a giant tower passes by. WTF?? I thought it was some pest control company with the Eiffel Tower on it. I decided to go outside and take a picture when the car came out of the Cul-de-sac.


I took 3 pictures as it came down the street. The driver is photographing and so am I. I was surprised to see Google Maps on the side of his car. I asked a few others if they have ever seen one of these and they said 'no'. I just thought I lived a sheltered life and these things were everywhere. But apparently not.


So fwiw.......


Have a GREAT Day!

    Hi,
    Google maps may be about to become ‘old school’…
    ____
    New Maps Use Military Strength 3D technology
    ” Compared to the Google Earth view we are used to seeing online, the C3 view is complete and so accurate, you can make out 4-inch objects. In Google Earth, on the other hand, entire buildings are missing. Some appear only as gray blocks. Google uses humans to draw 3D buildings with something called Building Maker. C3, though, uses airplanes. Whereas, others use lasers to measure from the air, C3 uses cameras and sophisticated software to turn photographs into high-resolution 3D”

    So Rick, Do you really think that shirt goes with those shorts?
    At least you weren’t working in your underwear today!
    First time I ever saw someone I knew on Google Street View.

    Michelle Cohn and I have seen the Google Maps car all over Miami over the past few months. We even caught it breaking HOV laws all the way from Pompano Beach to Miami during rush hour, only leaving the lane when a police car was in sight as to not get a ticket! We even took a picture: http://goo.gl/nYbFd

    Wonder if the Google camera guy also gets paid per click too?
