I was in our front yard last week when the Google Street View car went by. Apparently they are
updating their database with higher resolution photos:
...the fourth generation street view camera provides clear, sharp, and vivid images. In most of Europe, for example, all images were taken with the 4th generation camera.... All older images where street view was first made available, such as America, Australia, and Japan, will be phased out and replaced with newer imagery taken with the fourth generation street view cameras.
In some countries objections have been raised based on privacy concerns, but here in Madison elected officials are very
supportive, for a surprising but logical reason:
"I'm very glad to hear they're getting new data," said Dave Davis, Madison's geographic information system manager for the engineering department. City staff rely extensively on Street View to show them such things as fire hydrants, traffic signs and sidewalks without having to leave the office, he said, saving trips and time.
