Its quite amazing - perhaps someone who knows about these things can tell us how these "photos" have been taken.

My secretary has just looked at her house in Newcastle and her Dad is in the front garden looking at the "camera".

Just been for a "drive" down Frien Road - its incredible but I guess some people will have privacy issues. All number plates are hidden.

Where's SNORKY with some old claptrap about privacy ?

google has a fleet of vauxhall astra with a 360 degree camera on the roof that they just drove down the streets all over london taking photos. they then stitched them together and blanked people's faces and reg numbers has taken aboput a tear
