Google Street View Launches in the UK


tyne-bridgeGoogle has launched it’s 360° Street View functionality on Google Maps in 25 cities across UK covering over 22,000 miles of the road network. Heres a nice view of the Millenium Bridge and The Sage from the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle.

There have been numerous court cases in the US over privacy concerns and I’m sure it won’t be long before the first reportings of similar UK actions.

From what I’ve seen and heard it would appear that the majority of the imagery was captured last summer which was particularly poor weather-wise which may make it awkward to spot Wally of Where’s Wally fame who is hiding somewhere in the UK.

Be the first to spot him and don’t forget to comment on any unusual sightings while you’re at it.
