Start off at Google Maps.

http://maps.google.com/

Enter a place name or address - in UK, it must be in one of the 26 towns
and cities that have Google Streets enabled.

Increase magnification so you can see individual streets.

Click-drag the brown man onto the street map at the point you would like
to view.

And that's it! Enjoy ...

Google for Google Maps and click the link ...It's just a wee icon (
like on a gents toilet door) that you drag on to the Street that you
have looked up .If there is a Street View ( not all streets are done
yet) the streets will turn blue( I think) in outline and a small
thumbnail of part of the street will appear ...just click it and
follow the arrows or the small logo down on the map itself

If you zoom out to show all/most of the UK, and then drag the little man
onto the map all the areas which are on Streetview are highlighted in

In Google earth make sure you have updated it recently (check the help
button) then just zoom in to a town that has been covered. Click on the
camera icons along the road

Funny that. I had not appreciated this part of Google and looked at various
haunts that I recognise from years ago in Brumagen and thought "Thank
goodness that I do not have criminal intents.".

Powerful, init?

The question was about Google EARTH - not Google Maps.

Check that in "Layers" you have a tick in "Street View" then zoom in. you
should see camera icons along the roads - click and they turn into a bubble
for a 360 degree view.

SWMBO was walking down the street today and watched this bizarre car
driving down the road past her; then later she saw the picture of the
GoogleStreetView car in the newspaper. So we're now waiting for the next
release of UK towns to see if she makes an appearance!

Using Street View in Google Maps seems to have a different way of
negotiating a street from Google Earth . I'd suggest it is easier to
use than G.Earth version.

I saw the cars a number of times and made a note of where I saw them,
in anticipation of seeing me or my car at least once, but I can't see
me on any of them.

That's interesting. I suppose the software assumes plates will be at a
certain height.
As for sign written vehicles, one wonders how many "What were you doing
there?" incidents there will be

I found one street where all the car registration numbers were clearly
visible. There was no evidence of any attempt to obscure them.

Automatically. Ditto faces. The algorithm isn't perfect, and you get
unobscured faces/number plates (which are often noticed and fixed) and
oddly blurred road signs etc (which usually aren't).

brakes then parking on the other side of the road.

I saw one of their camera cars driving along, probably a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, I can't remember where I was at the time.

Are you sure? On what basis did you become sure that you knew what I

Mine was parked a bit farther up the road, I had tenants moving out so only
stopped briefly to check the house, and their hire van also got a ticket.

Yes thanks that works..

Seems the camera car use a very complicated route to cover all the side
streets in town, Some pictures are going up a road and others, on the same
road, are coming back the other way

quite how all this is stitched together later is to me a minor miracle.

The drive down Oxford Road in Manchester is amusing because the view
flips backwards and forwards between rainy and sunny. Which leads to the
inevitable question, how on earth did they find a sunny day in
Manchester?
