I'm on GOOGLE EARTH!

Post by BootScootin'FireFighter »

I spotted the Google Earth car last summer in DC, about a month after getting my Buddy. I followed it for a little bit waving my arms and making faces, but I guess that it wasn't recording for those few blocks. After crossing Massachusetts Ave, apparently the camera came back online and caught me waiting to turn left.

i posted it up on the older forum, maybe we can generate more sightings as google continually updates their data in major cities. check back on street view to see if you've made it yet.

HA! This is awesome! I was in Hawaii in 2008, and the Street View car drove past me, I stuck my head out the window, but I guess it wasn't taking pictures. I was really wishing to see a street view pic of me on vacation, that would have been awesome!

made it on the street view again! This was from summer of 2011 since I still had my black AGV fullface on. I checked this area frequently for a while, then gave up. I was randomly looking for something in the area yesterday and noticed it. Two good shots of me and my lady riding uptown. We had chased down the car for a few blocks trying to catch up and we were fist pumping and waving like idiots for a little while, but it looks like they took out those frames, as it mixes frames from a different flow of traffic around the same time.
