Google-Mapped, part two

August 7, 2007 Follow Up, Los Angeles

Matt sent me an LA Times article this morning which confirms that Google has been busy adding Street View to Los Angeles.

My earlier suspicion that I’d been van-captured has proven true. So far, my mug doesn’t show up in any of the shots, but that’s likely because they seem to have only commercial streets included in the database. Kinda hoping that continues.

One thing I’ve noticed so far: at least along my stretch of Wilshire, the images are a block-and-half off. Here’s our old editorial office. In the image, you can see the intersection is Plymouth, but the map shows it between Windsor and Lorraine.
