    Deansgate is on street view. Clicky here

    Are you grabbing the orange man in the corner so that the mapped streets go blue?

    If I was looking on Deansgate decided grabbed an orange man on the corner then i'm sure i'd be locked in some sort of institute until my head gets better :D:D

    I've got it working now though.. Thanks :)

    You'd know - cos you'd be Tango'd :D:D


    I'm wondering now if local bus companies will be petitioned to remove all double decker buses from bus routes, in case people on the top decks are looking over garden fences/walls/hedges into peoples' homes.

    All this makes flashing that bit more risky... Imagine if they got caught with their dirty mac open :rotfl:

    I m not too concerned about privacy matters relating to Google Maps, I have just seen three images of me walking my dog and also seen my car parked across the road from my house with the number plate blurred out. I also sen an image of my Dad outside his house in Glasgow. I don't think my privacy has been compromised.
    Like good food and drink?
    Try Hotel Chocolat and Baileys.
