Google Releases StreetView Canada! Let the hunt begin!!!

Author's display

So I just spent some time playing around with Streetview. I've messed with it before but it was only available in the states so really there was nothing for me to look for. Well things have changed mes amis. Now you can virtually walk down any street in Canada. Obviously its not going to have EVERY single street but so far I've taken a walk down some of my favorites.
Here is my list so far....


View Larger Map Home in Toronto with visitors


View Larger Map Home in Montreal


View Larger Map My parents agency on Mont Royal

And my Proudest one.... Last Christmas my father took me and Jason out a few days after xmas to buy Jason a screen. While we were driving to the mall we saw a car with camera's on its roof.... Voila!

So the big thing with streetview is trying to find weird things, so lets start posting our finding... And lets make a game of it. We need some wheres waldo thing to go by.... hmmm what could we look for... something that stands out in a city and is always on the move...... Hmmmmmm What could we all look for???

[More:]

The Map Van!!!

Here are the rules... It can't be parked near either Gregs house on Wilson or on Chester. The rest is fair game. Also these pictures were taken over a period of time so Greg knowing his own schedule should be able to narrow down his own Location, so he has the best chance... but the third rule is that a Link has to be posted to the Streetview of the Van on this Blog. So Now lets see if he can figure out how to post!

And for a prize...10$ from me!

Sound good?
Ok lets see how long this takes.

And a quick Lesson on how to use Google Street View

1) Goto

http://maps.google.ca/

2) Type in an address with city then province SEPERATED BY COMA'S (Example: 1234 Fire Crotch Rd, Montreal, Quebec)

3) Once you find the place you're looking for, drag the Little Orange Man on the left of the map to the location you want to see.

4) To navigate the map you can walk around using your Keyboards arrow keys, or click the arrows on the screen to walk, and to zoom and turn the camera use the controls on the upper left corner of the map.
