Was checking google street view and then i found this beauty.......

Mertens34 · 13th December 2016, 14:55

So an colleague of mine was telling me how he saw a google maps camera car near our work the other day. So we went on Google street view and i wondered how my house looked like a few years ago.

When i was "in my street" with google maps i saw that the pictures were quite recent.

Because i spotted this beauty of mine

(i own my Rover 75 for just a year now)

I know there was uproar when Google Maps were first uploaded but I think it's great.

First used it to have a look at my previous Rover 214 and got a clear image of the previous owner driving it up his street.

More recently, I typed in the address of the previous owner of my 75 and within 2 minutes found him standing outside just about to get into the car.

Could spend hours on there!!

It can be a disappointment too though. I thought I'd have a look at the hotel I'm going to make an overnight halt at in Aix les Bains next summer and was delighted to find an abandoned Rover 200 outside. The Google van went by again a couple of months ago and I now find the 200 has been removed. So that's one less thing to go and have a look at.

I am still seeing street view from 5 and 6 years ago

See this article for your question.

It highly depends on the location.

Interesting. I have never seen the Google car yet!
