Title: Do you guys do it too ?
Post by: level42 on May 15, 2012, 06:58:48 PM

.....putting an address in Google street view.......

I mean, it's not that I'm addicted, but I often am a bit curious when I have to ship something or receive something....:P

Am I a bad person now ?

I often do it professionally too, it's handy to have at least some idea of the surroundings when I have to go to a customer that is new for me....even despite navigation systems...

That´s one of the things that street view is meant to use for.  :) Why would you be a bad person, it´s public information.

Yup, do it all the time. It helps in finding the way even with GPS and it gives a little bit of an inside on who you are about to meet or do buisines with, I find. At my place of work the sociale recherche (difficult to translate, sort of a police-guys without the guns) go a lot further than just streetview. It is unbelievable what you can find by just googling a name.
