Really? The "street" view is new in our area. I checked our address and it's a full front pic our house with a car in the driveway :D IT's kind of interesting...

If there IS a street view for the address you put in, the option will be up in the right-hand corner. If it's not available, you won't see it! B)

I don't think OK has any yet but I could be wrong.
Go to www.googlemaps.com - The first square says 'street view'. If you click on that you'll see some camera's pop up and you can click on them and check out some areas.
:dunno:

A western Pennsylvania couple has sued Google Inc., saying pictures of their home on its Web site violate their privacy and devalued their property.
Images of the home Aaron and Christine Boring bought in the Pittsburgh suburb of Franklin Park in October 2006 appeared on Google's "Street View" feature, which allows users to find street-level photos by clicking on a map.
"A major component of their purchase decision was a desire for privacy," according to their complaint, filed Wednesday in state court, which also says the couple suffered mental distress.
The images must have been taken from the couple's long driveway, which is labeled "Private Road," and that violated their privacy, according to the complaint.
To gather photos for Street View, Mountain View, Calif.-based Google sends vehicles with mounted digital cameras up and down the streets of major metropolitan areas taking pictures. Many other companies take real estate photos the same way. |

So its okay if I drive by their house and look at it, and if I invite my friends and their friends to drive by and have a looksee, but put it on a map....:nono:
Please people! If you want full privacy get a few acres and a really tall fence!!
