Have you googled the new UK pictures yet?

Google has launched Street View maps in the UK, making crystal clear photographs of millions of people's homes visible on the web.



The 3D street-level internet maps cover 25 UK cities including London, Edinburgh and Manchester.



It launched in the United States two years ago and critics warned it invaded people's privacy and made it easy for burglars to spot potential victims.



At the launch in central London, Google was at pains to emphasise these concerns had been taken into consideration.



Faces and car number plates are supposed to be blurred - although examples where this has not happened have already been spotted by bloggers.



All the photos are taken from Google-branded cars with cameras on public roads - meaning Street View could not capture the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street.



The cars have been on Britain's streets since last summer.



Cities covered include Leeds, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford, Cardiff and Newcastle.....



Such wonderful images......My favourite has to be the man puking in the street, yes pure class??

Wow - I've just wasted half an hour googling places I see for real everyday. How completely addictive is that?



Will get to your link next...
Yes, they also have it covering places in the Netherlands, however, I am dissapointed, it only covers two of the large cities, and I want to see smaller places, little towns and villages, like where my friend lives.Have you googled the new UK pictures yet?
I am glad I had my curtains shut thank you very much. Very strange. It could also be very useful, if you are moving to a new area then you can have a good look at it and it will be easier to find places.
Haha yeah that's ace they got where I work on there look...

Looked at them earlier today, can't report anything exciting in Derby (no surprise). Faces were blured if they were pedestians, but as far as I've seen car-drivers were pretty much visable.
How strange! And you don't get any more charming than a man being sick in the street. Class personified, that is!
Not got them where I live, but I have looked at others.
Do you need Google Earth to view it?
no, i havent yet
