Recartographed!

Spotted the Google Street View car, not for the first time, yesterday on Batavia Road in Warrenville, not far from the Emerald Green complex where I used to live.

There was no time to whip out a camera, but I waved. Only later did it occur to me that I should keep waving well after the Googlemobile had passed; after all, it could see me just as well going as coming.

Anyway, maybe I'll be visible in Warrenville as well as Aurora, once the imagery gets incorporated into Street View. So far, my own street remains viewless.

Edited to add: Indeed, Google did catch my wave.

The googlemobile and I were stuck in traffic on Butterfield last Thursday. I assume they will edit out the many many images of the whole group of us waiting for the flagger to let us past the construction.

Hmm...I've never seen a person waving in Google street view.

I guess the real needle in the haystack would be to find the Google street view truck in a satelite view on Google maps.
