Google maps used to use a very long exposure so you couldn't see fastish moving objects (say pedistrians or moving cars) but just parker cars etc. I noticed now you can see cars about the place on the road so yeah you never know!

when google maps first came out i had a go at dating the aerial shots, turns out it was about 2 years between some photos, i found my first mini in the garden of the previous owner*happy* and my dad car parked at work*happy*

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*

It's the Google Street View car. Your neighborhood is being photographed for their site.

They did my neighborhood about a year ago. Check it out. Click on "Street view" to get a surface view of the streets...it's cool and a bit scary.
