I was at my hill the day that the snowmobile was driving around getting shots for streetview but I didn't make the cut unfortunately.

a kid I went to school with a long time ago has a picture of his ass on streetview (different resort). pretty sick claim if you ass me.

no they drive around in a white rape van with cameras all over the top. I've seen it once.
then just on a random sunday they showed up with the same camera rig on a snowmobile and drove around my local hill.

I assume they only do it once per area.

yes, ive seen it once before also im pretty sure, the only reason i asked is because since google earth came out ive seen 3 different shots of my house, (1st time, old white suburban in driveway, 2nd no suburban &trampoline in back yard, 3rd time new car in driveway, tramps moved in yard) so i assume they at least update the more urban areas?

anyways that would be cool to build like a giant cardboard robot or something when they drove around

I really wish I dedicated my day to getting in as many shots as possible when I saw one of their rigs in my city.

Street view doesnt exist for my house yet, I am pretty sure that my roomates were on the front lawn though.

It passed me once, took them like six months to actually update google with the new photos, checked where it passed me... I was not there.

Wizardry!
