Now for a more traditional sydneymorningphoto. A street view from Kent St looking north. 

I love taking photos after a rain storm, everything looks clean (ok, most things do?) and you get great light from the water reflections.

Si hace unas semanas os comentábamos que Google había sacado este triciclo para zonas poco accesibles, ahora nos sorprenden con esta preciosa combinación de última tecnología y prehistoria cubriendo el Stonehenge con el Street View.
A ver si convencemos al Sr. Google para que, la próxima vez, se vaya a Galicia para fotografiar los míticos petroglifos ;)

The Guardian today reports that Google plans to bring its Street View technology to South Africa in order to provide street-level views of locations to accompany its ubiquitous Maps. While some may be pleased that Africa is now able to share in a service and technology available in developed countries, local authorities are not as pleased, saying the availability of the images will make it easier for criminal interests to plan robberies without having to leave their hideouts.

Crime and technology and intertwined, and have been as long as their has been a crowbar available to pry open a door, or wheels to make a getaway. This dynamic is not African but global. It will be a shame if concerns about potential misuse of the data that could occur anywhere stands in the way of its deployment.

The positive benefits, on the other hand, far outweigh the negatives. First in South Africa, then potentially across the continent, Google's images will help boost the utility of the BOPNet in this area (see upcoming posts for more on this). Plans reportedly call for using more rugged vehicles to capture hard to reach areas. Mobile and Web users with access to Google Maps will be able to leverage important location and wayfinding data that may save them a much higher cost of having bad information. who knows? It may even encourage development in areas that can be scouted from a distance. This situation will bear watching.

The dude in the blue shirt is really annoying. But what he says is simply amazing!

Google just released a beta version of Google Maps Navigation (for Android 2.0 phones like the new Motorola droid.) Watch what it can do!

  • Search in plain English 
  • Search by voice
  • Turn-by-turn navigation
  • View of live traffic data
  • Search along route
  • Car Dock Mode
  • Satellite view & Street View (!)

And the best part: It's absolutely free.

(Btw. Look what this did to TomTom & Garmin.)

Update: It may also be available for the iPhone soon... =)

Para que el Street View llegue a todas partes Google utilizará triciclos.
Hasta el 28 de este mes aceptan sugerencias para cubrir las primeras rutas de EE.UU.
