Googlemaps

[Treasurer]

When did Googlemaps add the "walkabout" feature or did I just not see it until now?  There doesn't seem to be any Irish cities on it yet, but it's a great feature for the cities that are included.

(I know, I'm easily amused)

Damn you Treasurer, went and had a look at my old place in Cottesloe Perth, now I'm just depressed

Sorry Dinny.

not sure how often it updated but there a bar i was working at in Sydney when i was and its now complete so i took a 'stroll' up that street and its got the building hoardings still up so might not be that up to date - be very weird if you walked past yourself wouldn't it     

On a different note if thats the sort of technology available to just anyone with a net connection what sort of capability would the American intelligence, etc have!!!!

i believe Irish and British cities have been covered but the information hasn't been released due to privacy issues
