Just how far are Google Maps going to go?

For the past few weeks people have been seeing the Google Streetview car driving around Glasgow and Edinburgh which you can understand. They are the countries two biggest cities and if you trying to get the main points in the UK onto Streetview it would be silly to miss them out. So when I walked to the bakers at the end of my street to pick up some bread rolls I was slightly confused to see teh Streetview camera car driving past me. Yes East Kilbride is quite a well know town in the UK, in fact I think it’s viaing with Paisley for teh biggest town in Scotland, but it just seems as if it’s either scraping the barrel a little or hinting at just how much information that Google aims to have available on the internet.

In other news I made chicken kebabs last night for dinner. Despite them being very simple and easy to make I was pleasantly surprised they were damn tasty!

    Street view is the dogs. I was playing with it the other day — http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Infinite+Loop,+Cupertino,+CA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.188995,93.164063&ie=UTF8&ll=37.336146,-122.030747&spn=0.009128,0.022745&z=16&layer=c&cbll=37.33171,-122.03075&panoid=vOPpwCcoFNr8c1I7PzWbfg&cbp=1,131.52733118971014,,0,-5.4340836012861855

    I would have thought they aim to cover as much of the major countries of the world as they can, but I suspect they probably have minimum population/traffic thresholds for the time being.

    @sabriena They were but I think I need to find something to go with them as just the kebabs by themselves weren’t enough to fill the family.

    @Mo Or they just got lost :)
