| 1. Wow - out of billions of people in the World . . . |
|
. . .
SO - I check around which cities have street-view
Toronto is one of them -
Some of my family including one brother and my mother live there.
GOOGLE CAUGHT MY BROTHER -yeah, my youngest brother walking home!
I called my brother last night and he was just wowed!
We were on the phone and the web together for over an hour checking it out -
in one frame they caught the roof of the google-van as my brother walked by -
yup - checked the addresses above and below his, and they got front, side and rear-view shots of my little bro.
just wow!
THANKS to the OP for this news!
:thumbsup:
