It looks the same to me Brandy, Boggart Hill gardens is still missing from the Google street view, the old lass walking at the top of my road is still on this Google too. I think it's the same mate!

And still somewhere called Coulton where Colton used to be!My car is in a slightly different place and it looks like a Saturday (Don't ask!), which is different to other images. Certainly before second week in July and after Easter 2008.So, changes, but last time we noticed, the updating was very piecemeal wasn't it?

I guess it could be a 'patchwork' update again, certainly the two places i looked at are the same when Google street view first came out!I'll keep a look out for new additions around these areas over time

Funny, isn't it that they've clearly updated some already covered areas, but still haven't gone beyond the Outer Ring Road?It would have made more sense to me to add new areas, rather than add new images of areas already covered?It does show the gargantuan task they've set for themselves though if they are planning on updating Street View every 12 months or so.

Can someone remind me what i have to do to see street view? When i click and drag the little man onto a street i just get a black square with a shutdown x in the top right corner?Have turned off flash and ad blockers and it's not that. I knew this before and i can;t remember! O_o
