Google street view

[Besoeker]

I drove by a Google car while it was filming in Orlando yesterday. I don't remember exactly where we were so I can't go look for my truck in google maps. A friend of mine passed one once and did see himself on google maps.

There was a day when you could tell google maps that you want to go from San Diego to Tokyo and it would give you driving directions to a boat ramp in Portland or Seattle, then tell you to take your kayak across the ocean to a boat ramp in Hawaii, then give you driving directions to the other side of Hawaii, down another boat ramp, and take your kayak across the ocean to a boat ramp in Japan, then up the ramp and driving directions to Tokyo.

On my prev ious car I asked "Find nearest pub."
No problem you would have thought - there are two within about a five minute walk from my house.
But it gave one on northern France - nearly 300 miles away!
It fairness, she did say "This journey involves a ferry crossing. Do you wish to proceed?

My current car, same make and model, doesn't give me thepub optiion. Maybe it's trying to tell me something...................
