    so recently i've been playing around with google maps and i have found a couple cool things that wont interest you guys, like my friends vehicles or some people i know who happen to be driving around, but if you have found anything cool or interesting you would like to share, post it up!

    here is my truck when i was at work before i moved back to NL. its parked next to the parking lot light pole.

    http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&ie...=4tFzsjTMuN02sVmIfA-L9g&cbp=12,159.54,,2,0.52

    if you dont know how to use this, go to google maps and scroll into what ever location you want. once you get close enough you can drag the little yellow guy who is on top of the zoom bar (left hand side of screen) onto the streets (they turn blue if they have been "street cammed") to show a road level view. if the guy isnt yellow, your not close enough or you area hasn't been captured yet. in the area i posted they used a cobalt with a camera on a roof rack to take the 360 degree picture and some program to stitch them together. its pretty cool.

    to bring the link into the post click link up in the top right corner and copy the link.

    You can sort of see my old bronco parked on the street. This is the best pic they had.
