Comments on: Sneak peek: Earthmine's street view

A new street-level mapping system will offer better imagery than Google Street View. Using laser range-finding and still photography, Earthmine will offer not only sharp and perspective-correct visuals, but also will collect 3D data

Very Cool....

This looks like it might give Google Street View a run for it's money...which it has lots of, so, perhaps Google will buy out EarthMine and add it's data to Google Earth. The 3d data would do wonders for enhancing Google Sketchup.

Earthmine Street level maps

I agree with the editorial. I played around with the Google product, and found it poorly done and thought out. I am not computer savy, but even for a novice it was hard to get to an exact address, navigate correctly, and the image was distorted at best. often seeing cars overlapped, 2 heads on people and certainly not clear to be useful for looking up a restaurant, apartment , or real estate address.

It will be interesting to see if Earthmine has the know how , to do a better job at geo spatial mapping with acccurate gps coordinates, crystal clear images, and reality indexing, than Mr. Google.

We will see.....good luck Earthmine inc.!!!

It looks like Earthmine has a competitor before even launching. MapJack.com launched last week
