Re: Google street level map: The dumbass has arrived
It may not last for much longer.
A Google mapping car with video and photography equipment mounted on top
Privacy International has lodged the complaint with the Information Commissioner over claims that a number of people are identifiable through the Street View service.
The application allows users to access 360-degree views of roads and homes in 25 British towns and cities and includes photographs of millions of residential addresses, people and cars.
Sophisticated technology has been developed automatically to obscure the faces of people featured in Street View photographs, and car registration plates have been blurred, but this has failed to quieten critics, with many labelling the maps voyeuristic and intrusive.
Scores of pictures, including one of a man exiting a Soho sex shop and another of a man being sick on the pavement outside a pub in Shoreditch, were removed from Street View on Friday, a day after its fanfare launch in the UK.
But the service has proved a hit with intrigued British internet users.
Google Maps UK received one in every 250 UK internet visits on Friday, with onsite traffic rising by 41%, web monitoring firm Hitwise claimed.
The firm added that US Google Maps posted an 84% increase in visits as British web users began checking out places in America.
The Information Commissioner's Officer (ICO) confirmed they had received a complaint from Privacy International.
A spokesman said it was Google's responsibility to make sure all vehicle registration marks and faces were satisfactorily blurred

Re: Google street level map: The dumbass has arrived
I think its great, I got some great road layout pics for my insurance claim.
I thought google earth was good for these, but this gives you a drivers eye view of the road (be it from the top deck of a bus angle).
I'm just waiting for people to find the bizarre images like they did for google earth
