Melbourne Address Street View With Google Maps

[glen]

Hi guys,



There is a new feature at Google Maps where you can actually get a street level photo of properties in Melbourne. You just need to type in the street address.



Give it a go. Its heaps of fun <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />

If you are not that familiar with Melbourne then here are some addresses to try:



218 Flinders St‎, Melbourne

46 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne



You can also pan the camera up and down and also rotate it 360 degrees. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

That will make getting around a LOT easier... And give stalkers so many fewer headaches when trying to stalk their "friends".



PS - yup. It's going to make finding bars adn brothels and hospitals a LOT easier.













What? Why look at me like that? I'm just planning ahead. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Now that I think about it, I think a lot of people will hate the idea of everyone around the world being able to see where they live. It would be kinda funny if google was told to take street view down due to privacy concerns.

For business it's great advertising - look them up and see where they are. For every day people, it's a tad creepy that people can already stalk you on the internet.
