I'm gonna step in this one.

Alabama has no street views on Google Maps.


Jokes to come:

1. That's because Alabama has no streets.
2. That's because no one in Alabama has a camera.
3. Where's Alabama?

Okay, take your best shot. Remember, I gave this to you. Don't say I never gave you all anything! :lol: :lol:

It's because the roads are so bad it blurred all the pics!! I just came through Alabama.. from the bottom up... It sucks both ways. :P


BTW... we were wishing we knew where your store was so we could come buy gum with $20 worth of loose pennies. 8) :lol:

They have a video camera strapped to the top of a car that videos 360.
If you play around with the view enough you can catch the sides of the car and sometimes a good shadow.


Enter... 896 Irma Ct, Antioch, TN 37013, USA ... into Google and look at the street view that pops up. It has a perfect shadow.

I am pretty sure the plan is to drive down every road in every town. They are doing it really fast. I want to know how they hired for that job. :lol:

that is correct amazing how they do this and I would like to have that job :lol: Notice if you go backwards the cars dont move but the buildings do because you are going the opposite direction that they filmed it in.
I know in Va Beach from what I saw they filmed most of the main roads. But what a cool job just drive around while your car is filming everywhere you go. Interesting.

BTW ILOVEBIGCATS welcome back hope you had a wonderful vacation :wink:

Hey Dolfan, the last time I checked, Huntsville was still listed in Alabama. There are Huntsville streets, including mine, on Google now. Maybe we're just more cosmopolitan up here in the "north country."

Before I clicked that link, I had no clue what Google was, much less Street View.
