Also a thread on this in the Camp site section. Pictures go along site roads in some cases so you can actually look at pitches. I have done this for Wooda Farm Park.

I thoroghly enjoy street view. It`s nice to be able to visit old haunts to see how places have changed, & if you fancy a trip around the streets of Tokyo or New York you can. I can see no real harm in it,as the images are mostly taken some months ago. My house was done last October. & shows my old caravan. My new caravan still shows up on the drive in south London where I bought it from. Not a lot of help to potential caravan thieves. Les.

Just another tool for thieves to use - I've told them to remove mine.

I was out on the bike in the hills above Burnley last year and came across the car filming ,i was surprised how fast he was going.

I have been looking for a while and I'm finally on now.

They have missed our house as it is on a cul-de-sac but my FIL is shown quite clearly washing his van on his drive.

I think it's brilliant. Why is it an intrusion? You can't see anything that someone walking down the road wouldn't be able to see.

Lovely picture of my house and caravan, too, taken in the spring when the blossom and the sun were out.

If I lived in your area I can look and see you have a caravan and sort out how I could steal it if I was that way inclined!

We keep our van at home but we were lucky and were away at the time the camera went past.

Can't see what use this intrusion on our privacy has. You can see if people have alarm systems etc. Yes you can walk down the road and look but is the whole world going to do that? I think not! Much easier to sit at home and plan.

I can't really see the down side at all. As mentioned already, if a burglar wants to case your joint then he could just as easily walk or drive down your road. The images are not to be relied upon as they are fairly old, our neighbours extension isn't on it yet!
It might not be to everyones taste, but it cannot do any harm, apart from that bloke with a very distinctive type of car, who's wife noticed it parked outside another womans house! But she could have driven past it anyway and seen it, had it not been on street map!
I wish I had less to worry about for this to get under my skin.

I've just found my old house where I grew up It bought back fond memories, just looked at the house I live in now it's not a recent picture as we have since changed cars and done the garden since then, but I could just make out a black blob in my garden I think it is my black lab lol.I do wonder about the intrusion thing though.
Just looked up the site we are going to at the end of the month looks really nice :)
