I Found Myself On Google Streetview And I Am Not Pleased
I remember this day. I called police due to a sound of gunshots and a woman screaming for help. They cane to ask questions about what I heard. However, Google streetview did me soooo dirty. I look like I’m being arrested in both photos. I was not arrested that day. But Google is telling a different story. The timing, yo! What was I doing with my hands? Why did I not notice Google going by??? I am so appalled that everytime someone looks up my home they will see THIS. What if I need to sell my house? How do I fix it?

I Found My Dog Living As A Street Dog On Google Street View, 1,300 Miles Away
My dog Maya is from Chapala, Mexico. I live in San Diego. She was rescued in Chapala, which is 1,300 miles away, in October 2020 with eight puppies (she was the mom). They estimated her age as two years old.
One weekend, I decided to check out Chapala on Google Street View, and I went to a date she theoretically could’ve been there. May 2019 had a batch of images of much of the town, which has 56,000 people. I spent hours, like 16 total hours. I was not expecting to find her because the chances of that are just incredibly low. I saw hundreds of dogs and some with superficial similarities. On day two of looking, I came across this street and boom, I immediately screamed. It’s one of those things where you know your dog well, and I just knew.
Based on her estimated age, she would’ve been about six months old here. I reached out to the rescue group in Chapala, and when they saw it, they said, “That’s Ivy!” which was her name while at the rescue.
All photos of her pre-2022 show she had a whiter right paw that gradually got more tan as she’s gotten older. In the photo of her next to the chain-link fence, which is the oldest confirmed photo of her, her right paw is clearly pretty white. Also, I know her resting pose isn’t incredibly unique, but it’s exactly how she rests the majority of the time (my other two have their own go-to resting poses as well). Not to mention, Maya has a floppy left ear. She can kind of stand it depending on how she’s lying down, but if she is standing it, it flops a bit at the midway point, exactly like this dog on Street View.
I’m 99% sure it’s her, and I fully recognize I had like a 5% chance of actually finding her at best. But… when you know, you just know.

"GeoGuessr is a geography game in which players try to deduce locations from Google Street View imagery. The game includes various modes, such as single-player and multiplayer." (GeoGuessr, Wikipedia) Hadn't heard of this game before. Thanks

"The Eyre Highway is a 1,675 km epic outback drive connecting Norseman in Western Australia to Port Augusta in South Australia. It features the 90 Mile Straight—an stretch of road without a single bend.” This is not a stretch of road you want to run, with or without a support vehicle.

I've got an absolutely brilliant screen shot from the early days of Streetview which captures a lady in a backstreet near Manchester Picadilly station looking bored and smoking a cig while giving a customer some vigorous relief with her other hand. This romantic tableau was eventually blurred out and likely has been replaced several times since but the original's safe with me!

I find street view can be a dangerous liability. For example, if it photographs young children on their own on a remote lane with only 4 houses on it then it's telling the world that there are young children playing outside. Other images can endanger people, I would prefer it if it had no people in the shots, just blurring the face isn't sufficient.

My favorite Google street view story is Maru, a dog on Jukdo Island in South Korea, who followed the Google guy all over the island and is in practically every shot.
