Good quality of results is difficult to get even on paved roads without "boots on the ground". Consider driving down a street with stop signs at every intersection (NW Northrup St) or one with speed bumps every block (SE 41st Ave).
- ChuckMcM 14y agoYes, when people asked me why Google was spending millions on driving around taking a picture of every street I explained they were actually taking pictures of the signs on every street :-) That you can see your front door is just a bonus on top of the intelligence that is gained by being able to image process miles and miles of streets for data about how they are used (or not).
- brianpan 14y agoOr both...yesterday google maps on my iPhone took me to Taylor Ave in Sunnyvale. Those are stop signs and gutters deep enough for cars to scrape the ground! Either street north or south would have been better. https://maps.google.com/?ll=37.384429,-122.022368&spn=0.003546,0.010493&hnear=Mountain+View,+California+94040&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=37.384433,-122.022363&panoid=BH88lEUTyWLtoTv4CKBZMA&cbp=11,100.85,,0,-2.67 https://maps.google.com/?ll=37.384429,-122.022368&spn=0....
