Naw. You just passed a well disguised drug surveillance van.

Oh, hey. Them. I used to work for TeleAtlas out of Lebanon, NH (or rather Geographic Data Technology, a company they took over). TeleAtlas is much farther reaching than GDT ever was.

Nevertheless, I still hate address coordination, parity, GIS linup, and street correction.

I think this happened to me on the way to work one day too. I whipped out my Treo and snapped some photos of the van. http://www.mikevogel.com/2007/06/google-street-view-van_05.html

I’m staring at your site, John, and this post only makes your transition from Africa all the more startling to me as a spectator.

I guess saying you got “Google Mapped” is better than saying you got “Google-y Eyed.”

I’m surprised they didn’t have a chase vehicle full of producers collecting permissions. Guess they’ll have to blur out your face… of use the infamous black bar.

I can just imagine this shady van with all the cameras sticking out of it rolling by my street, and some guy with a megaphone sticks his head out of the passenger side and says “Everybody act natural! Say cheese!!”

And “I you”? I meant that sans the “I”.

Now your dog will be famous! Oh yeah…and I you if Google doesn’t photoshop you from the pictures…which would be kinda funny. In a “guess-what-John-August-used-to-be-there-but-they-put-a-tree-in-his-place” way.
