Terry, how do you add things onto the map for everyone to see? I think what I added is only for me to see

There is a good chance that your house is now viewable on Street View in Google Earth.

Just put in your postcode.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Mixed feelings about this question Terry. We looked at our house a couple of weeks ago & with the zoom function you could almost make out the furniture in our bedroom!!
Its good if you are looking a buy a house, so that you can see what the area is like, but it's probably good too for the professional thieves out there which is a bit worrying.

Tried it before Terry....Can't believe how close up you get to your front door and you can zoom in on windows etc.

I was actually leaving our avenue in the car when google came round filming (a 6 foot pole on a car with 4 cameras attached to the top). So you can see the back end of my car on it.

Frightening....lol  :shock:

I do thinks its amazing to see "Street Views" like this and I can't wait to see Arillas on there. I love seeing places I have been to in Spain and  France on Street View it really helps to bring back memories

Have you seen the giant pliers above West Bromwich? see ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/7473754/Google-Street-View-Giant-floating-pliers-above-the-sky-of-West-Bromwich.html

I was chuckling to myself after seeing mine so clearly, can you imagine anyone getting up to no good and their partner seeing someone else's car on their drive?! How would that be explained away!! I am NOT speaking from experience before you ask!! :-)

Amazing news, it looks as if Google are ready to start filming for Street View in Greece and as they are going from North to South, Corfu is first on the list.

Also Google are now filming manually so that they can get views of places inaccessible by car.

A good example is Warwick Castle where the camera was mounted on a bike as shown here....


And now, even more exciting, a video has been leaked of a trial on the jetty at Arillas. I am a member of a Google Earth forum and one of the people on there sent me the "leaked" video.

It will be great if  Arillas is one of the first places on Corfu to be added to Street View.

Here is the video, which I managed to copy and upload to Youtube. Its not very professional due to it being at the Beta stage
