Most streets south of I-10 and east of the Grand Parkway, along with north of I-10, except for old town Katy are in the latest update of Google's Street View.

So was it trash day when the Google car went by your house?

How many gated communities did they make it inside?


I live west of 99 in new construction and my street is still not on any Internet map site (yet)

Wow, I hadn't looked at the Streetview feature in quite a while and am impressed with how much they've added to it. basically everything west of 290 or 288 is on there, as well as a bunch of Pasadena.

Have you all zoomed in on your house yet? Apparently I left the garage door open that day so you can see the make and model of the cars and everything else that's in there. <_<

Seems like it could be used more for evil than good.

I saw a Live Local truck driving around midtown the other day with cameras on top...I guess Microsoft is getting in on the streetview as well? Either way, something tells me we'll have the same resolution as Dallas soon enough

My place has a FedEx truck illegally parked in front of it and one of the doormen standing at attention.

This is unbelieveable - I didn't know it was out there. We live in Grand Lakes and our house is on there. My grandparents house is on there and every car in our entire family is in their driveway (even one that is brand new) meaning that the google car drove by on Christmas Eve a few months ago. Unreal.

I live in Falcon Ranch, and we got updated. IT is pretty neat. I was on vacation so all you can see is my house and nothing else. None the less very cool. I also noticed that they are blurring people's faces, when they first came out with this you could see their face, it was pretty strange.

My house isn't on there and probably never will be. :) Google Maps doesn't seem to recognize that my street even exists, not to mention that it sits on a courtyard that isn't readily accessible. The rear entrance is in a little hidden alley. Love it. :D

Take that, THE MAN!
Find me at the Houston Press or on Twitter.

moo, I live in the as yet un-Google mapped part of Falcon Ranch, and it's like the Google camcar just stopped in the middle of the road rather than continue down on the unmapped streets. Maybe when the rest of the streets get on the map streetview will show up.

Oh well... a few more weeks/months of "privacy" I guess...
