Map Battle 32 - Streetview

[The Doctor]

Why does Google Maps limit the Street View locations, but Google Earth has millions of the little things all over the world. Even the dumpy little town that I live in, with 2000 people has Street View.

Since the town I was going to use doesn't actually have Street View using Google Maps, I'm going to have to use the next best thing. Atlanta.

hmm. I want to do this but im already working on my city map...

Can't you do both? Use street view to help map a section of your city, then post it here? Or would that be against the rules?

[Jest@]

Hmm. I knew you could to street view in Google earth too, but I figured it was all the same places. You sure it's proper street-view, not just user-submitted photos? I'll have to check it out, and maybe alter the top post to allow Google earth too. The only downside is it's more of a pain to link to (takes longer to load)

@ RawMeat3000/MrMattWebb - To recap the rules on submitting previous work etc; if the entry is specifically worked on for the theme, and suits the theme, then it can be entered. It can't just be something sort-of-similar that you have lying around (although we'd never know if you haven't shown it before, I trust people to be good about it:) )

Edit: @The Doctor: I can't find any places where you can use streetview on Google Earth and not on google maps. For example, welcome to Ravenden, Arkasas - pop. 511.

The Streetview 'welcome page' map, with the blue markers, doesn't precisely show everywhere you can do it: the trick is to go roughly where you want, stay zoomed out (like, regional-level) and drag the streetview icon over the map, and hover before letting go. You'll see blue outlines and shading after a second or two that shows where you can do streetview.

Yes I just figured that out. I guess the blue icons threw me off a little. So now at least I can move around in Google Earth to making searching easier, and then load the link up in a browser.

I think I'll stay away from that town too, for roughly my entire life, and the next.

Back to work I guess. Happy mapping everyone. I'll just shut up now, and return when I have something to show.

Funny, I was poking around to see Amsterdam as well. Not that I'd make anything, but just out of curiousity.
