Google Street View adds OKC & Tulsa

[FFLady]

Holy crap is right! I need to clean out my gutters!

[bombermwc]

So am I the only one that can't seem to see streetview in OKC anymore?

[rod4soonrs]

I don't see the option either.

[jstanthrnme]

its still there. on google maps, there is a yellow man icon to the left that you drag and drop to where you want to view. Google earths street view is weird. It has bubbles or something that you have to go into.

[bombermwc]

Oh, ok. So they just took off the button that said street view. Seems kinda stupid to do that, but whatever.

Just in case you want to know Google is in the process of adding Enid into their system. Snyder (go figure) ihas been added as well.

Anyone know when Google Earth might be updated (IF EVER)for OKC. I just went through and looked at some cities and towns including Dallas, New Orleans, NYC, Ft. Smith, Las vegas, Branson. Sulphur, Ardmore, Lawton, and even Pink Oklahoma have all been updated since OKC. I found a blog link that is supposed to inform users of updates but havent had time to go through it in any detail.....maybe someone with more time can find something. Google Earth Blog

Are you talking about Street View or the aerial view??

I found this site today that has updated aerial views of OKC... if I'm not wrong it looks like its from 2009.

I was refering to the aerial views, sorry I should have mentioned that. I looked for a google "earth" thread and didnt see one....didnt want to start one for something so tivial either. Thanks for the link....I'll check it out.

[bombermwc]

I wish they would update, there are images that are so old, bricktown is still dirt...and in MWC, 29th still has the old shopping centers!

[Hondo1]

Hhhmmm. I've been using Google Street view of OKC for several months now. Don't know about Tulsa. Is there a different version or view you are referring to?

[bombermwc]

Aerial...no street.

[Shake2005]

It's working for me. Zoom into the map, use your cursor to "lift" the man off the zoom bar and then drop him where you want a street view.

[bombermwc]

We got that figured out a long time ago...we're just complaining now about the old age of the aerial images.

[westsidesooner]

On Google earth aerial views, most of OKC was taken in APR 2002. South of Rock Creek rd in Norman was taken in 2006, east of Indian Meridian rd in 2003, and north of the rest area (south of Guthrie) on I-35 was taken in 2006 but if you scan west down I-40 to Cemetery RD there is a 3/4 mile wide darker (newer) image running north and south along Cemetery rd. That strip was done in 2007. Just to the west of that was taken in 2005. Weird how they update in small strips like that. I started looking for (anomalies?) (theres a lot of them) along the time-lines. If you google 11710 N. Cemetery Rd. Yukon. on the aerial view you'll see a ghost house...half there and half not. Good address. Anyhow, it surprises me that they updated the suburbs and surrounding famland since they have the inner city. Seems backassward.
