This is cool.
I already have noticed this. It is very cool.
This is creepy AND cool. my stoop is there, I was expecting to see myself on the goog map walking out to check the paper in my boxers but they must have come when we were out. Neighbor's car is gone so I think they were at work which means the truck cam probably came through between 7:30 am and 4:00 pm. scary the info I can come up with based on that? it looks like the usual dusting of trash was cleaned up though so that at least is good-would not want any stalkers to think my wife and I are slobs.
Check out how busy the Main St pocket park is.

QuoteWatch Google Maps; Watch the First Coast
(http://www.jacksonville.com/images/mdControlled/cms/2008/07/01/297858992.jpg)
To celebrate its one-year anniversary, Google Maps has added Jacksonville and the surrounding areas to the cities that are included in its "Street View" feature.
In what might be the gas-saving move of the summer, you can take in the full panoramic views of scenic Florida A1A while sitting at your computer.
The First Coast has been added to Google's Street View, a map service that allows one to virtually drive through neighborhoods at street level. Much of the area has been included, as far north as Big Talbot Island and south to Anastasia Island. Jacksonville, Springfield, the Beaches, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Middleburg and northwest St. Johns Country are some of the included communities.

I just used the St. Augustine Street view a few minutes ago and then come here to see an article. :)
Google is getting massive...

I used to think their satellite view was cool. Street view is amazing...and a little addicting. I spent a long time going through old neighborhoods and looking up old jobs, schools, etc.

I have found my vehicle in my parking spot at work from both satellite and street view... :o

Lol. Nice. Things like Street View are one of the many reasons I refuse to believe in little gray men. ;)
Anyone else notice that much of the Jax streetview has a blurry spot? Its the stuff that was done on the gloomy day.

I think I found our future residence off of US 90 in Arlington. ;)
Seriously though, where's my hometown with this feature? WTF? Yeah...Columbia has got SOOO much more to see...
I had noticed the blurry spot, too. A bit annoying.

I noticed that they skipped a huge grid from Stockton to Margaret st, and all the way to Park?
Google Maps updated their aerial photos of Downtown Jax with very recent images.
Looking at the courthouse construction site, they must have taken these in the last month or two.
Looks like it was taken on a weekday as well, so if Stephen or tufsu wants to count the cars, they can.

Yeah, they updated a lot of cities, including my hometown. You can see the freckin scar the tornado left across the city!
Ah, the wonders of Google maps/
I noticed that google has added Gainesville to the cities with public transit maps. I wish they would add Jax too!

Based on the trees at my house, I think the pics were taken in March or early April
and no, I'm not counting the cars ;)
Saw some glare, especially from white roofs and concrete surfaces, in pictures I looked at. They should have used a filter. Otherwise, great pix.

Had to ahve been because my house has a bare spot where the Live Oak was taken out in December and I can even see the freeze damage on a few of my palms.
They did the same for the Nashville area, and possibly the whole country.
Gotta love the use of satellites.
Google Street Views has even gotten many many rural towns, though they are probably updated much less. I have used Street Views to look at investment properties in several VERY small TN towns. It is pretty amazing and I actually do not find it that creepy.

Jacksonville has public transport?
;)
The Nocatee infrastructure is finally visible too. I hate to say it, but based on the suburban developmental trends in norther St. Johns, that area is going to be the next Palm Coast but better planned.

They came back and got that area. I remember following the google map car one day for a few blocks around my house just so id be on it. :) There are several pics of me in my car now if you turn around and look to the back in certain places.
