Yesterday, I was driving on Victoria Park, just south of Sheppard, where a Google Maps camera vehicle was stopped next to me (had a sticker on the door too lol). I wonder if I’ll be in the picture in my 240. 🙂 IIRC, it was a Chevy Cobalt, with a huge 360° camera setup. The final height was twice that of the car itself…for a better view I guess. Anybody else notice these around? Apparently there’s a whole Google Maps fleet for the “street view” feature that they want to integrate. ---

I’m happy to hear they are finally implementing this in Canada. This will be VERY useful for me at work. Less field visits, but also less $/KM ☹ ---

It’s surprising how much money a search engine company has generated over the years. Did you see the size of the fleet? Jesus monkey balls, Google can buy a country. lol ---

I saw one three days ago on Dixie getting off the 401… hard to miss with that giant camera sitting ontop.
