The view of my block looks like it was taken right from our driveway!

Nice...will have to take a look at it..unfortunately their aerial shot of downtown is about 5 years old, which is a shame since Google claims to update them every 2-3 years.

The street view shots are from early this spring.

Actually I believe them to be spread out across a longer period. It appears some of them were taken in the fall.

Glad they finally got around to getting OKC.

Pretty good coverage of the metro, as well.

Well, I can tell by the photo in front of the school where I work, that they took those photos in April.

We had picked up a 12-passenger white rental van that day for band contest the next and it was parked in front of the school

I guess that I don't get it. I've been using google maps, including satellite imaging, for at least 3 years. Is there something new that I'm missing?

you might need to upgrade to the latest ver. Doug...I think street view is only supported in latest versions.

I took another look at the view of our block and I can see my car in the drive way.

Kinda creepy and cool at the same time.

I love this kind of thing... I actually paid for a tool called Keyhole before there were bought out and became Google Earth.

But it really is rather Big-Brother-ish. So much information and photos are out there now it's a little scary.

Doug and the others that are still looking at the aerials - you need to go to Google and click on Maps and then Street View. Prepare to be blown away.

I was pretty blown away how you can "drive" down the street with the directional arrows. I practically pulled right up in my own driveway.

Anyone notice how the world seems to devoid of all people in the photos?

They got my street on a what looks like a pretty spring morning. Very cool.

I plan on using this when I put house hunting into gear here in a few months.
