Google Street View Car Spotted Again

July 6, 2011

A Google Street View car has been spotted in the North Escambia area numerous times over the past couple of months. Tuesday, the car with 15 cameras on top was seen around the streets of  Atmore.

Google Maps with Street View, as well as Google Earth, allows users to explore places through 360-degree street level imagery. Most of the roadways in the area already appear on Street View, but the lower quality images are being updated with new realistic high definition photos.

For a more detailed  look at  the Google Street View Car and more  information about how it all works, click here for a NorthEscambia.com story and photo gallery about the car in Walnut Hill last May.

There’s no word when the new images from the North Escambia area will be available on Google Street View.

    I want to take a virtual tour around some of the headline locations, do they go into those areas? Molino Man what do you consider fast? The camera car looks like one of those hybrids?

    Yep. saw them on my streets a couple months back in Cantonment. Goggle maps is pretty cool, if you haven’t tried it you should.
