Google Street View In Newfoundland?


UPDATES below....

I was driving past Windsor Lake heading into St. John's today when I spotted a grimy black Chevrolet Cobalt or Cavalier with a mast mounted on the roof heading out of town.

On top of the mast was a black box containing several lenses.

I make it to be a Google Street View car fitted out like the one in the photo above. Without the palm trees.

The CBC reported Google Street View was photographing in PEI for inclusion in Google Earth earlier in August.

The latest version of Google Earth is 5.0x. It does not show any icons for Street View in Canada. Yet.

UPDATES: December 2 - Here and here.
