Did they really??????

Question

ok, so how did Google REALLY get all those street scenes? I refuse to believe that some dude in a car literally drove around to every house in the world and took photos...I mean...really

Answer 1

What are you talking about? Google Earth? Well, on Earth, the pics shown are uploaded by the users themselves, including you. I think the good pics from http://www.panoramio.com/ are put into Earth's server and downloaded everytime you start Google Earth.

Answer 2

yes they drove round the world in this http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/01/take-... taking pictures

Answer 3

hahahahahaaha i never thought about that before thats funny they probably got loads of people to do it like not just one guy lol

Answer 4

It took months to do it in Australia. I could think about ten things from  the top of my head that the money could be better of spent on!

Answer 5

Actually, Google really did do that. If not, how would they make a street scene? Don't tell me that there are users who take pictures of the streets and have them patched, because not every inch of the street is photoed.
