I didn't know that there was a street named Google. |

+ ...of course Mr. Peabody! |

i thought street view was released just this summer. how could they have pictures from five years ago? |
|

I'm preempting someone posting this idea
in five years' time |
|
| |
that makes much more sense.... |
|
| |
Speaking of Wayback, and pre-emption, I posted a very similar idea, recreating virtual worlds from the buildings that used to occupy a town, using CAD CAM. But I cannot now remember the title of the idea, nor exactly when I posted it. |

Time Team Google Streets? |

I note that Google is already under fire from the US military for offering virtual walk-through tours of US military bases. |
|
| |
Google's published policy is to *not* photograph military bases for their street-level views. They accidentally had a driver go into Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio, with the cameras on, and uploaded the pictures to their database. The street-level pictures have since been removed. |

Ah, that sounds more like commonsense. It was certainly not reported that way in the news here, earlier this week. |
|
| |
Until recently, the Gooogle Maps view of my street was well over five years old. |
|
| |
Someone simply must put together a Google: Pangea, for an older view. Might take some time to do. |
