Google Live Cam Map thingy

[triggersnappy]

.... Google MAP!

i'm new so i can't post links but in Australia (and i presume lots of other countries?) Google maps now have live cam via satelite (its just a static photo though so maybe the term 'live' is a misuse....??) which means you can look up where u live and work and perhaps see a photo of yourself or your neighbour / collegue (they blur out the face of people though).

its proving to be a nice source of work-place procrastination looking up one's childhood address, exes, old school etc.

what do people think about this in terms of privacy? and any other countries have this?

I checked some cities in Australia through the satellite mode of Google Maps but according to my experience it's not a live cam (real time) it's just a simple photo nothing more and I feel with very bad quality. Anyway I got the following error message:
"We're sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region."

STREET VIEW is the best.
