Google Street View launches today


GA HQ on Street View - Image copyright Google and associated imaging partners...

Today is the launch of the widely anticipated Google Street View. I had an invitation to attend, and would like to have been there, but had another appointment today pre-booked.
Just following the LIVE LAUNCH on Sky News, which is also going out on TWITTER. People on TWITTER noticed it last night before the official launch. 

My car is on the picture too, so it must have been taken since September 08.

Update: Keir Clarke from Google Maps Mania has pointed out that some of the images are pre credit-crunch hitting the high streets, so there could be some shops that have since disappeared - one idea for an activity there - also get in touch if you spot any interesting 'geographical' images or opportunities..
