I wish I had less to worry about for this to get under my skin.

I think the probelm is that our privacy is being eroded bit by bit. You can't go to many places now that you are not being watched. Privacy is s fundemental right and unless we stand up for it we will loose it. Big brother is watching us and I , for one, object!

I think it's great, we've been checking out areas we were thinking of visiting to see if we like them or not. I don't mind our house & car being on there either, loads of people see it every day. I saw the google car taking the pictures and stuck my head out of the door because I wanted to be on it!

They cover number plates but I can easily identify many of the cars and vans etc seen on the road. My son for instance has a van with sign writing on it, but as a one man band company there is only one van like it.

However, no-one really knows the date the pictures were taken and if you're that worried about being seen somewhere, don't do it! Behave yourself!

 The only response I got from the wife was "told you before, that front door needs re-painting".                                                                                                          If you have the image of your home removed does it eliminate the entire 360 degree picture, or just your home? Surely if a ner-do-well is looking at your house, or rather,where your house should be, out of the millions there are, would he not think hmm! I wonder what they've got to hide?

There are few more here who feel it is an intrusion.

I like it in a way but, I think it can be intrusive, especially if there are no nets/blinds up and the camera (whatever it is) is facing straight onto it. Hope no one was in the nuddy.  I can see into my brother-in-laws living room and see the tv on (even though I couldn't tell you what was playing) and he has blinds up.
