  1. #1

    Default Google Street View car back in OKC

    Drove right past it on my way home just now, never seen it in person so that was pretty cool

    I don't think it ever leaves. Or at least I assume someone with one is based in south OKC. I see it on a regular basis on SE 44th.

    Oh wow , interesting

    It would make sense for a car to be stationed in most major cities. With the many thousands of miles of streets and highway that OKC offers, I'll bet it is dificult to drive the whole city in a year, even with full time effort.

    Ok, that made me chuckle, as odd thoughts of mine sometimes do.

    Just for grins and giggles, new contest.

    First person to find a Google street image where Google was watching Brian watching for a south OKC street worker (with or without a john present) gets a free roll of Spree candy. Oh, ok, two free rolls of Spree candy. the hard candy ones, not those icky yucky chewy ones

    Ready? Happy Hunting.

    Funny you say that. I check for updated 'street' views' along Robinson to see who got captured by the Google car and addresses I know to be high volume drug houses, gambling houses and local brothels.

    I can relate to that. It would only surprise me if you didn't.

    I was behind or next to one of them a few days ago. For about a mile.

    I put my horse mask on and passed it towards the end of our time together. Hopefully it gets immortalized on the internets.

    I'm afraid to ask why you drive around with a 'horse mask' at the ready?

    For fun you could follow it around and keep shining a stylist size mirror on its camera.

    For whatever reason, Street View in OKC is updated much more regularly than where I live.

    Google also updates the aerials in Oklahoma pretty frequently as well.

    Also...Long faced masks make selfies difficult.

    When Google first rolled out their 45 degree imagery, OKC was the only city not on the west coast to have this imagery for quite some time.

    Somebody told me about a year ago that the street view cars don't "return" to OKC, they are always in OKC and surrounding areas. These cars are actually based here and Google has several employees here. Maybe somebody else can give a little more information?

    I haven't necessarily 'heard' that but I do recall a job posting by Google a few years ago that implied you'd be based in your home state in a major city.
