We have some interesting solutions in GPS imaging that Google may be interested in seeing.

Too bad they haven't been through my small town near Philadelphia in New Jersey.

Excellent! My house is in the new updates. By the looks of things, the picture they took of my neighborhood was in January to February 2008.

It got close to the house where I grew up, but didn't go down the cul-de-sac. I think it might be related to the difficulties online mapping sites have with addresses on dead-end streets.

I think I live in one of the most privacy conscientious country in the world; Japan.

When streetview hit the streets of tokyo, the media went crazy and thousands of phone calls
went to Google tokyo office asking for their house or car be removed from the map.

There's even people who say they see ghosts! lol
Here's a link with the "ghosts" they've found so far.

Once people found out its pretty useful (or google pressure on the media?), it all started to clam down.

I don't care if they take pictures from the road. It's not illegal.
