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:

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."

The photo of my church and house was taken sometime last summer because the church sign had been delivered but not installed. 1801 Hermon ave. Zion, IL.

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