Google Maps

I was out between Lisadell and Grange today and was passed by one of the google maps cars with the camera on the roof. Apparently they've been around Sligo all week taking pictures for the street view function on google maps so pretty soon we should have it for Sligo Anybody else seen them around the area?

Wouldn't hold you breath on the 'soon' bit. Soon in Google terms could be 2011/2012.

It was a different car to the one described in the thread linked there. It was a black astra with google signs all over it.
I wonder what the delay will be with getting this live if it takes until 2011/2012?
