Google Street View car seen downtown

[subro]

I have been reading these forums for a long time and finally have something to post so I hope that this is the appropriate forum. I work downtown and the Google Street View car was in front of the Wachovia building today at lunch. He was swapping out his hard drive as they are updating their Street View photos of downtown Jax…

It would be fun to follow them around... figure out their route... get ahead of em and stand on the side of the street waving or holding a sign... over and over and over...

That's an interesting job.  Turn on the radio and drive around cities all day.

Where do I sign up!?

Subro, have you tried to get in on one of the shots?

He was parked for almost an hour and I was only getting hot dogs so I couldn't wait him out...

I actually just saw this car at lunch time driving down my street springfield.

I hope you waved!!  Not sure how often Google updates their streetviews but keep checking... you may see yourself in a couple months!

Here is a closeup of the camera:

As they keep updating, the old images should remain available for a historical record.

Neat.

My block in Springfield already has street view pictures, but they were taken last year (I can tell by the newness of the front garden plantings).
