Google "streetviewing" finally arrives in Canadian cities
On the way home from work today I saw a google street view camera car going down Elbow Dr. here in Calgary. Looks like the street view option will be available for Canadian cities soon. Hopefully I got in on the shot hehe.

They've been snapping photos around Hali here for a few weeks now.
They're also in Saint John. :) |
They were already in Edmonton. If you use Canpages.ca you can get a version of Streetview now of parts of Vancouver. Quite cool.
I always enjoy going through streetview in American cities and it will be awesome to have in Canadian cities. |
Yeah I saw one about a month ago in Hull. Looks like they are using the same cars everywhere (Cobalts).
Wonder why they pick the brownest, ugliest time of year to shoot photos. |
I saw that car while I was sitting on a patio @ Buzzards on Friday, didn't know what it was at first.

They prefer to take pictures in cloudy weather, according to an article posted in the Waterloo section.

Caught one last week on Parc Avenue. Not only was it above the speed limit but it ran a red light. Morons. :haha:
|
Bear in mind these decisions get made in California.

I wonder how many people have tried to destroy those cameras.
...or steal them. |
If they've already been shooting for weeks, then Montreal is going to look weird with some parts of the city with leafless trees while other parts will be green with leaves and flowers. It's actually green now, but I don't know if they're still shooting. ( I guess so)

They were in Winnipeg early last month, during the melt.
Worst time to do such a thing, with the spring melt and all... :koko: |
The image capture technology was eveloped by a Calgary company:

Hull in March or April is one ugly place. |
