Google Street View celebrates July 4

Check out the little Street View guy on Google Maps. He’s all dressed up to celebrate! :cool:

OK, I’ve used Street View a few times and I’ve never seen any little guy there. Little help?

Go to http://maps.google.com and choose Street View. When you zoom in on a city there’s a little guy who you can drag to the blue-outlined streets and move him around, giving you the Street View. Usually he’s just a little yellow stick man, but today he’s all dressed up.

This pic shows what the man usually looks like.

I don’t get any funny dressed guy in google maps. Only the regular yellow belly :frowning:

Guess it’s for your eyes only.

That’s odd. It even shows up on the .co.uk version, for me.

Just realized he’s only dressed in those garbs if you look at the USA. I decided to go on a walk in France, where he was the usual yellow.

(and of course that’s how it’s supposed to be… )

OK, now I see him. Guess I just don’t use Street View enough (very very little), and when I do I go in a different way.

Thanks!
