Google mapping Exeter

06/10/08 - 0 comments

It was only a matter of time, but the guys at Google have started driving round our fair city's streets with their camera cars in preparation for the roll-out of the UK street views.

This car was spotted at Pinhoe Sainsbury's on Friday doing the rounds and indexing everything in sight.

The clever cameras aboard the vehicle take a panoramic picture of everything around it every few feet, which will enable anyone around the world to get a glimpse of city life.

We don't know when Google are planning to roll out the UK street view yet, but since they're doing Exeter now it can't be that far off, they've been known to be recording up north (past Bristol) for some time now.
