Google Streetview - Now in Canada!

-----------------------------------

Son of a-
So it isn't in my town yet. So I plan on staking it out on my street until the van pulls along. I believe putting my education on pause in order to make the wakyest face on a massive online database is highly worth it.

In other news, apparently there was two CN towers. :/

So hows your wacky Canadian streets? Did they catch you being naughty?

They blur faces. There were some students outside my school and they were right in front of the camera and their faces were blurred. License plates are also blurred. Also, chances are, they already drove there, they just haven't uploaded the images to Streetview.

And they blur faces with an algorithm, so sightings of blurred out paintings and billboards are not uncommon.

Some intersections are also weird 'cause for some reason they use pictures from different times/days for some intersections, meaning you can scroll from a sunny day directly into rain.

My street is completely uneventful because they did it around noon on a school day, so everybody is at work or school.

Windsor was mapped at least in July (I saw the car).  Probably before that because the mapping for Detroit since day one included imagery on the bridge crossing to/from Canada.  Don't why it's not in the launch because the mapping for Toronto was at the same time.

A) It was in my driveway.
B) The rest of the car is sharp and clear.  Just the hubcaps (both visible) are blurred out.
