Google photographs Charlotte Park for Street View

A driver for Google Maps rode through Charlotte Park today in a car with a roof-mounted camera to collect 360-degree images. Street-level imagery can be seen on Google Maps' Street View, which currently is available for nine U.S. cities, identified on Street View with camera icons. Those cities include Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Orlando, San Diego and San Francisco.

According to the Google Maps site, Google is working to expand its coverage to other areas. Earlier this month, another Nashville resident reported he spotted a Street View car with the same license plate number.

The Charlotte Parker emailed the company today requesting more information about Nashville's Street View.

Read Google's response here, from an Oct. 1 post on The Charlotte Parker.

Below is a video from Google that explains how Street View works:

There is even a Google Street View capture of a woman going in for an HIV test!

Paige, this is really cool. I'm excited that Google will be including Nashville in its Street View feature in the future.
