Google Street View Goes Live Nationwide Tomorrow

Google will be officially rolling out Street View in the next 24 hours as it promises to put online images for "almost all of the UK's roads, both rural and urban". Ed Parsons, Google's geospatial technologist for the EMEA, explained that "Street View takes mapping to a level not possible before. And with so many practical applications it's no wonder that over two-thirds of people who had tried the service said they would use Street View again." In total, 210,000 miles of roads across the country will be available in glorious pseudo-3D in addition to the 28,000 miles that are currently available on Street View UK. By the end of this week, a staggering 96 percent of the nearly 247,000 miles of roads, streets and motorways will be available online, that's much more than the journey to the moon.
