Street view in France
      #1198765 - 07/04/08 04:51 AM

I've just noticed, via Carmedic's post, that France has got street view

Why have our Gallic cousins got this feature before us?

It is an outrage, and could spark a diplomatic crisis.

Was Nelson simply wasting good cannon balls?

Probably no Google photomobile has a steering wheel on the right-hand side.

Aha! But I saw one going down the street not so long ago, Mr Collins

I didn't notice where the steering wheel was though

Aha! Now I have photographic evidence as well!!! Thanks to Danes!







As you can see, the steering wheel is on the right

Im thrilled they have expanded outside the USA. Ive never had the chance to travel in Europe and am thoroughly enjoying the scenery Ive seen thus far. I am very much looking forward to future countries being added. Come on GE I want to see more of the world at ground level for many reasons. Its already enticed me to start traveling abroad and learn of some new places.......

Since a lot of the route the camera car took matches the route of the TDF could it mean that Google is looking for extra exposure it would get from a major sporting event?

Can you say... 'Boston Tea Party', 'BSA motorcycles', and worst of all... 'Austin Powers'.

Boston Tea Party, no use crying over spilt tea.

BSA motorcycles, weren't they a triumph?

Austin Powers, groovy baby yeah!

Maybe the Streetview people thought the 360° views would be lost on people with one-eyed vision?


Or maybe they couldn't afford the Congestion Charge.

What I would really like is a clue to how to find it without a clue.
