Google Street View
Google Street view is now available for CE. Google have not updated the satellite view and looking at the state of some of the developments, even the street view seems to have been filmed some time ago.
Worse of all they have picked an cloudy and miserable day ! but at least we are on the map ! |

Just looked at our place and the reed fence was still there before the wind took it and we had not planted the roses and the skips were still where the tent used to be all in all about 18mths-2yrs old. We were just coming back up from Ayamonte and saw the camera car just passing the shop. Very annoying they dont update the sat images they are available if you look on the cadastral site. |
Re: Google Street View
Just found a more up to date set of ariel photos but it is scary big brother.
The site is:- http://www.maps.data-spain.com/cadastral/ this mapping based I think on google is far more up to date when you go to a large scale say one or two steps from the highest on the sigpac tab. Most of the new builds are there in some detail. This is scary because it means that the "authorities" know more than google about where we are and what we are doing. This information is used to update the charging system for IBI. |

What a great link. Found my place and details with no trouble. I could see that it could cause problems if unauthorised works have been carried out.

Re: Google Street View
I looked at our house on the site you gave.
The Sigpac pictures are more recent than the Google pictures (about 12 months) but the quality is far less than the Google one. It really depends on where you are as to how good the Google resolution is. |

It is possible in UK since people threatened court action but I don't know about Spain. I certainly want mine removed from Google.
thought Google agreed that they would erase all faces, car registrations, even vanside adverts irrespective of country. or do you mean removing your property? looking for a rental property and streetwalked the address, it would only let us look at 2 houses one side and two houses the other, the one we were looking to rent was only visible from very acute angles and even the overhead was blurred. unlikely to be the home of the Defence Minister, so something had been "tweaked" there. have you asked them the question ? ? |

household security is only as good as the system(s) you have in place but more importantly use. (many don't bother when nipping round the corner to buy a bottle of milk) most systems will be discrete enough for anyone not to know what you have fitted unless you are really overt about the size of the bell box, blatant cctv etc etc. if in real worry areas then make sure you have an alternative to the telephone landline, that might get cut. however, all those using GPS in any form walking, driving etc will be using technology that has been up there since the 1960's, installed to allow nuclear deterrent submarines to know exactly where they are and to input that into missile control systems. what will happen when Europa gets its own over budget and ever so late GPS, Galileo ? what else will be up there with the gps ? |

If you go to the military base at Moron, on Goole Earth it is blanked out. On Google maps it gets blanked when you zoom in. There are many places in Spain like this
37° 9'41.05"N 5°36'13.25"W have tried looking down on some of the places i visited in the navy and find they suddenly get blurred conversely looking down on some of the American historical fleet locations you can get some very good shots. |
