    Sorry if this a stupid question, but how do I view it? I have been on google maps and can't seem to find any street view....

    They're switching it on at a lunchtime ceremony, maybe.

    When it is live you'll grab the little yellow person from above the zoom bar and drop them where you want to view.

    Agreed. It's like the interminable waiting at christmas ... except that I'm actually looking forward to this.

    Folks, let get this going...

    What part are you going to view first on street maps ?

    1. My estate
    2. Ballymun
    3. Maybe some sight seeing around templebar

    - Google has uploaded new pictures

    - Dublin was tagged in a picture

    - Cork was tagged in a picture

    - Limerick was tagged in a picture

    I wonder if they will catch Brian Cowen picking up his Breakfast roll.

    45mins to go.

    What are the odds on the thing crashing ?

    Zero - this isnt the CAO were talking about - its google, they have more servers than we have debts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,659 ✭✭✭Devil08


    Gotta love Michael McIntyre slagging people who use google street view. You can go and see anywhere in the world you want on it, but where do you go? Yes, your own house. And then you get all excited when you see your car in the drive! Why do we do this!!!!!??? :D

    Unlike most things rolled out in Ireland, its not an Irish company doing it, so it won't have been way over priced, sh1te and will be delivered on time.

    Maybe google could buy Ireland, I'd say they can afford it.

    A lot more people than you think would probably be able to afford Ireland at this stage.

    I would be happy with that if they bought us. We could call it Google Land, and various, google rides such as the Proxy server, Blue Screen of death and the all new Google maps maze in areas such as Darndale , or for people more experienced we have Cork !

    It's incredible the amount of coverage they did - even estates are done. I'm looking into the windows of my house to see if you can see either myself or my housemates.

    There's something odd about this.

    I only get the little yellow guy on Google.com ... not .ie

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Rasmus


    Can anyone give me a clue how to enable street view, or a link, because I am not succeeding at this at all! I guess I am missing something truly obvious....?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Yay I can see my house - i never have to go outside again :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,900 ✭✭✭InTheTrees
