Google Street View knows where you live
Google Maps has today launched Street View for Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch all over New Zealand.
A few months ago, on what looks to have been early in the morning in winter, the Googlemobile drove around the streets of our fair city, photographing the streets.
You can now view these streetscapes as the closest zoom-in on Google Maps. They even made it down Cuba Mall!
Street View in other countries has brought up all sorts of interesting finds, from "Hey, that’s me!" to getting snapped out entering a brothel (though Google say they will blur the faces of anyone who could be identified).
So if you find anything interesting, do share it with us – you might be rewarded with a free ticket to the TAWAs!
Update
Could it be? Is this familiar looking woman at the gate of Premier House its former resident, Helen Clark?
This is the most interesting thing I’ve found
The Google Car stops for petrol at the BP in J’Ville.
blaaaaaack hole suuuuuuuuuun wontcha coooooooome…. and wash away the raaaaaaain? blaaaaaaack hole suuuuuuuun, wontcha coooooooome, wontcha coooooooooome?
Or this one: where one Google car stops for a break by Waitangi park, and looks at itself?
I have an unnatural love for that tunnel!
found this in the tunnel under the airport
Is this like how on Waterloo Quay in front of the Railway Station the photos are actually from the Bluebridge parking lot?
bit like this one, where the driver seems to have got a bit lost, wanders off Adelaide Rd onto Duppa St, and has the latter labelled as the former…
ahaha. yes.
No. Just the one that runs under the south end of the runway
I thought you meant this tunnel under the airport!
Stupid zoning restrictions! 🙂
There’s a tunnel under the airport?
Karori Library is in a tunnel under the airport?!?
Wow the next frame is freaky!
i’m kinda glad they didn’t go down our driveway. you can only see part of our house because we’re down a private driveway that has about 4 or 5 houses down it. GOD knows what shenanigans they would have seen.
ANd they couldn’t even be bothered going past my place? Pfft.
It’d be good if we could go up peoples’ drives – there’s a place I know, 46 hectares, apparently has 5 big houses on it, a motel & god knows what else. I wish the car had gone up there.
