Who has played with Google Street View?

Post by Quall »

The guy in the yellow shirt, every freaking day he asks me for my moneys. He is smart though, he only asks on my way back, after lunch when I have pocket change.

This new feature of google maps is so cool. People around my workstation were cracking up because that guy is in the photo. He is there all the time, when it is above 40F.

Anyone else toy with it? I guess there are only places in the US for now.

if you pay cash you usually have change, right? If you always pay plastic you won't usually have cash on the way there or on the way back..

That was the intro to the topic, I actually wanted to see what people thought about Street View. Let me rename the topic. I think it is really cool and have been browsing to see what I can find.

Anyways, the guy always tries to take my money, but I never actually give him any. When I was young, I was gullible and fell for the old "I need bus money and my car broke down" lines, or similar stories. Because of that, I only give money to charity; no more personal charities.

To answer the Q about change, I pay parking on a daily basis and the meters and lots take exact change only. I like getting change back, it beats taking a trip to a bank and asking to break my bills into singles and quarters.

haha, never heard such stories from people, why are you not saying that they can go by foot?

to the topic, I don't live in america, so I can't use it directly.
I think also, that it's useless. And I don't like it when all people can look directly to my house.

I hear you. If you can get hold of enough mirrors, you can carefully arrange them to create an optical illusion, so that it looks as if your house isn't even there, even from the street.
