Speaking of Waverley West.
Google hasn't updated it's streetmap of Waverley West, and thus there are no images of Waverley West.
I'm pretty sure images were taken, but without the streetmap, the images can't be linked.

Some of the viewer comments in the Free Press article on Google Maps are priceless. Some woman is enraged that the street view images are a "huge waste of taxpayer money." Ummm...last time I checked, Google was a private US based company. Another woman goes on to complain about how the Street View makes it easier for her stalker ex-boyfriend to find her. Has she never heard of the White Pages?

Stalker to find her?

It's not like it's a live video feed...it's someone who drove by and took a photo...MONTHS ago.

Now there ARE satellites overhead that can read the license plates of cars...but I doubt her boyfriend would have access to that technology Wink.

That's what quite a few respondents pointed out to her.

They haven't updated Pritchard Farms area too.
The satellite imagery says it's still empty land...yet currently there are roads and homes all through it.

When I looked at my brother in law's place in south St Vital there was still snow on the groung, ours no snow and we had not begun our front yard reno's so it was still spring. I looked at a co-worker's brother's home, he lives next to a school and the school's bill board showed May 8th student led conferences. I also saw one of the Google cars on Keewatin during the early summer so they were here for at least 2 seasons. It looks like they started in South St Vital when the snow was still here and stayed until summer.

I'd read they were here 6 weeks...

i'm sure if someone googled it correctly...they could find out exactly how long the cars were here in the city.

so far we're noticing reports in the sandbox of early april through at least mid-june...so that's about 8 weeks at least.

I just took a look at Pritchard Farm Road area and it shows houses, both the original older homes on Pritchard Farm as well as the new development including a home on Harvest Way . What they don't have available is the newest development of Pritchard Farm Southlands as that area was still not part of the mapping system when they were here.

Right...the Southlands I guess it is.
I only checked there because a friend just finished building his house this year in there. I keep forgetting it's the Southlands part.

Try looking around Truro at Ness. The Streetview goes from the front street and suddenly switches to the back lane.

Me too. The street suddenly changes to the lane. You can't get all the way down my street without this happening...either way.

Seems like there are a hellava lot of snafus eh.too many imo.

yeah I find it a little more then unbelievable that the google drivers are that stupid that they cant tell the difference between a backlane and a regular street. Especially considering that backlanes dont usually have street signs on them.


Just kind of goes to show that cars driven by computers wont be a reality any time soon eh?

The back lane/front street is a problem throughout Winnipeg. I heard Calgary has similar problems.
I believe the problem is that each picture has a GPS coordinate attach to it. Going down a back lane might link that picture to the regular street.
On a side note:
'Google Drive' by the area around the Point West Automall. Don't forget a barf bag.

Well, we can't really blame the Google drivers for this, at least not in my area. Some streets in West Kildonan are back lanes (Kingsbury, Carruthers, etc) for stretches at a time...
