A Pictorial Record of Every Street in Liverpool

Don't I know about it all too well!!!!

I had a brainwave...the best way to do this is to get a team of photograpers together and then allocate areas for them to photograph. This makes that task of actually collating images less daunting.

What are peoples view on that???

This is happening I believe. I'll be doing some of Garston on Monday.

If there are any meet ups perhaps some photos could be taken then.

This brings me back to a Playstation game called 'The Getaway' I used to work on a few years ago. Back before Grand Theft Auto came out (sort of cartoon type graphics for none gamers), Sony had an idea to photograph every single building on a few square miles in London and put it in to a game, so when you drove around in the car, you'd actually see real life buildings and shops - it took 5 years to make so by that time, a few places were out of date, but it really gives you a thought.

We've had Google Earth from a 'top down view' - I wonder if Google would ever do a 'persons eye view' so you could 'walk' around your own city?

Google do that already. Its called Street View.

press 'Street View' and click on one of the camera icons on the map (in the USA).
So far its only a few places, but I'm sure Liverpool will be done one day.

Microsoft Virtual Earth also has some 3D street views already - mostly of the main roads.
