Bah! I live just beyond the Outer Ring Road, so our street isn't on - although there are new pics on the '"birds eye" view as there used to be a purple ftr bus passing our house and now there is a double decker.Double bah! We passed one of the camera vans on York Road near the White Horse and that isn't on either! I've spent 20 minutes shuffling the yellow man up and down and we're not there!And finally - if you click on Park Place at the King Street end, you can see the City of London Police (complete with sub machine guns) delivering the money to the Bank of England. I'm surprised that has been allowed...

Ooer, according to Yahoo news... ... Scores of pictures have been removed from Google's controversial new mapping application after a glut of privacy complaints.Google have removed pictures from their new mapping application Street View Street View, launched in the UK on Thursday, allows users to access 360-degree views of roads and homes in 25 cities.The database - which includes photographs of millions of residential addresses, people and cars - sparked concerns about privacy infringement which forced Google to remove offending pictures.The images removed include one of a man emerging from a sex shop in London's Soho district and another of a man being sick on the pavement outside a pub in east London.Unveiling the project, developers said they were keen to respect individual privacy and would "act quickly" to remove pictures deemed to breach privacy or display inappropriate content.Sophisticated technology has been developed to automatically obscure the faces of people featured in Street View photographs, and car registration plates have been blurred, but such efforts have failed to quieten critics, with many labelling the maps voyeuristic and intrusive.A spokeswoman for Google could not confirm the exact number of images removed but said the volume of complaints had been "less than expected".She said the firm has also received a number of compliments about the maps. "We have had lots of people asking when we will be going to their street," she added.At the bottom of each photograph featured on the application is a link which users can follow to "report a concern" to Google.Individuals who do not wish to be featured in images or want their home to be taken off the database can register their objections by filling in an online form.
