Google has launched the Street views since 2007 . Although the pictures we could find in the website is not very up to date, people are enjoying to search and see what is happening around their living or working place. Some people may wanna see something which are far far away from them.
Street views, in fact, is a map, but with a function of providing the actual view of the location. Cameras set in different angle took the photos at any corner all over the world. Then,special editing methods are used to combine the photos into at least 270 degree of view.
In Google's website, it has already stated very clear that the views in here could not give you the current image of the site, the picture may be taken a month or even 2 years ago! I appreciate that Google is so honest to tell us the truth, but it's honesty may make some people to stay away from this map.
One thing I wanna encourage is , Google is keeping on updating it's tool and manpower to taking pics for the street views. The places included is increasing. Recently, a new vehicle called " Trike" is used to take over the job from the original Van and car . " Trike", in fact, is a 3-wheeled tricycle in a device reminiscent of an ice cream cart. It lets the googles to reach areas which is unable to access by car, such as college campuse, hiking site, etc.
The most disappointed thing of the Street View is , China has not yet included. I am so sure that, it still have a very long time to run , both for the Google & China. Unless the conflict between China gov and the Google is settle , otherwise we can't see the pics of China in the Street View .
I have found some interesting pictures from the street view, everybody must take a look ~~^.^
