I am famous too! Seen the Google guy driving a couple months ago and knew he got me. It finally was updated.

I checked a month or so later. Then kinda forgot as time went by. I'm not sure if it was uploaded sooner. But, it was about a year until I finally noticed.

Awesome! I wonder how many others of us are on there?

@KDad2 Woodlands area? lol

Lol, I didn't realize they were always updating. I saw them back in February but just assumed they were gonna go do some pickup shots.




Going further back I realize that I would have caught up to the Google Maps car but the Fiesta had pulled out and was doing the speed limit

So I guess it doesn't take long before they post the images.

Yeah, they don't go slow.

I found their schedule plus some other interesting facts about their collection. Looks like the US is done for now, but you can look up when and where they are collecting in other countries.

Well the day finally came that Google posted the images.

And then it was time to get back to work... See ya next time Google

Google map photobomb nice

I believe there is a way to change the date on the street view so you may still be able to find yourself washing the car
