I've been filmed in my hometown today while I was standing outside my car. I saw this green Pontiac G5 with a large mounted cams on a 4-foot pole coming down the boulevard, and confirmed it was a google car with the magnetic white Google sign on the driver door.Cool encounter and I never expected that I wonder how long it will take them to post the pics on Google Maps!

We expect pics or link to Google Street View when it does come out.I'd read somewhere that turnaround time was fairly quick, like less than 60 days.I kept a screenshot of our home since it was taken just before Hurricane Ike.

Google got my house a couple of years ago. Haven't checked recently, I wonder how often they go back to re-do areas?:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=36655

Well, this was taken last spring apparently. I didn't own the Vibe yet.http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=...,0.73You can see my old Sunfire and the apt. building where the Wife and I live. This was taken on a weekday morning as my motorcycle (whitch would normally be parked behind the brownish purple Cougar) isn't there. I wonder when they'll be back???

Thought this link might be interesting, it shows where they are currently filming for street view and where has already been covered.http://maps.google.com/help/ma....html

Damn. They came by on a weekday afternoon so the Vibe was not in the driveway.
