How exactly were those pictures taken? I thought google maps were all satellite images.

EDIT: looks like from the roof of a car. Very cool.

How exactly were those pictures taken? Definitely does not look like a satellite image when you zoom out.

They have a car with a special 360 degree camera mounted on the roof. I believe they bought out some company to do it. Pretty damn neat if you ask me.

Knowing how they did it though, I would not want to be the driver of that car in neighborhoods like that!

Yeah, it's pretty cool. You can take a virtual drive through several cities.

Streetview: Golden Gate Bridge[/url]

Did anyone ever see the documentary about people committing suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It's
pretty freaky how many were caught on camera.
