When I hit the road back in 2008, Google Street View was in its infancy. The first time that I really remember using it was when I came into Eugene last year. Now, I use it more and more when going to an unknown location so that I have an idea of what landmarks to look for.
While working on my route for my travels next month, the friend I’m going to visit mentioned that, surely, I could stay in her yard. I was able to plug her address into Google maps and get a crystal clear image of her property. It’s very cool, but it’s also creepy. There’s just no way to hide anything anymore and there’s certainly no mystery.
What do my readers think about Google Street View?
