Spain

I live in Madrid and a lot of people have seen the Google cars taking pictures all over the place. Here's the news (in Spanish)http://www.elmundo.es/navegante/2008/05/21/tecnologia/1211385410.html

I hope that this does expand ... it's a great wat of seeing places I may never be able to visit in person. As it is now, I love checking out the street views; I started with my home address, previous addresses and expanded outward from there. Wherever there's a street view, I'm checking it out.

I have noticed, though, that many of the pictures are not up-to-date but are sometimes 6-12 months old. That's a good thing ... makes it interesting to see the 'way it was' ...

As for security concerns and I'm glad to hear that google is blurring out faces and license plate numbers as those things are none of my business.

European Union had restict Google from europe street google maps.

Perhaps the France government has give licence to google to fotograph France. Otherwise we may see google to apologize in Law to European Union for this.
