Google Street View is set to launch any day now, with the World Cup just about to start, now is the best time for Google to launch it.
I expect thousands of people will start using Google Street View as soon as it is released.
I suspect many of the roads will be full of construction work, and detours, but besides that should be great tool for all of us. Can't wait!

Sorry MItchell but Im afraid you are wrong about the updating every two days for Google Maps, this is South Africa, there is no way they are going to be updating that often here, I am pretty sure it is going to be a once a year drive-by (Or one a month at best) for updates and as for the aerial view being more visible… I don’t think so, the views on street level are much much clearer.

The problems you speak of aren’t really problems, for the reason that anything that makes a person identifiable get blurred. That would number plates, faces and so on. The problem regarding the camera being to high so therefore it can see into your garden is rubbish, because you can see more via the aerial view anyway. Then the issue regarding the said ugliness isn’t an issue because the photos are updated almost daily anyway – well always two days behind. So you get to see the progress a place has made over the years.

So other than the car being hijacked, and the inconvenience of low roofs in parking buildings. On the hijacking though its not like Prius’s are hijacked often. :)

Its about time actually, South Africa is finally waking up to the internet boom, and with cheaper bandwidth on the way we can expect even better business online.
