This isn't very awesome when they can go right up to your driveway.

There is someone filing a law suit against google because of this.Their drive way is a private road, which means they had to go up to the house to get the pics.

If I wanted to hide the front of my house I would have painted it in green camo. No big deal IMO.

I just checked this out yesterday. Luckily there's no shots of my place. With all the info that's available on the web, it's kinda scary how easy it would be to recon someone's house and neighborhood.

Looks like they didn't get into our gated community. I live by the back of an elementary school and somehow all those parents manage to get in somehow to drop their kids by my house.

Google=="Slackers" Try harder!

Sam,

I tried your house the other day off of the map to the Chino ride meeting spot. The camera seemed to end at the cul-de-sac. Maybe your home is camo?

Pretty cool, the house I live in is on google street view!
My old neighbors car is parked on the street, and he hasn't lived there for over a year.
Now another thing, its all nice and sunny at my house, and 2 block away it's threatening rain!

I think I must be in OZ... where's Toto....

Edit; After lookig at this, they reduced the resolution on the photos.
The first time I saw it, you were able to read license plates of cars, see cats sitting
in windows....Not Now!

Amazing, the Google car got permission to ride a normally closed road up to the gate of dirt Sullivan FR.

Sullivan

Caught a mountain biker in action at the top of Reseda.

Reseda

he-he you can also see where unmarked trails hit the highway.
