I noticed these cameras criusing through Winnipeg in June/July. Still, the street view has not been implemented for Winnipeg on Google Maps yet. Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Hamilton, Quebec City, and perhaps more cities have it in place.


The only other large city without street view is Edmonton. I anticipate the date where I can select some of Winnipeg's finer areas from street view (i.e Wellington Cres, Waterfront Drie, The Forks), and gawk at the seedier side of the city (North Main, Selkirk ave, Jigtown, etc).

Anyone in the know as to when we can expect to see Street View for Winnipeg implemented?

When the rest of the Canadian cities went live all google said was "soon"

personally I thinks its moronic that they blur people's faces and such,

If anyone does not believe in the sad state of the local economy in a city like Detroit, just click on any residential area in the inner city. All you will see in vacant houses, areas where it looks like enitre city blocks have been razed due to all the old homes being demolished. Now that must be one depressing city...

It is, HA. I experienced it (and Flint, MI) firsthand.

I'd be more interested in seeing certain European cities (in GSV) myself - mostly in former Eastern-bloc countries.

...then I think they just blurred out Winnipeg...




Why don't they take a walk down Portage Ave. from Main to Portage Place?

The report regarding the North End was that the cars taking the pictures were attacked and ripped apart, so there will be no NorthEnd pictures and no Winnipeg at all.
They will be doing Lockport!

The street view cars are also collecting information relevant to navigation. This will be very interesting and useful when all this information is integrated into the google navigation apps.
