huh, street view shows my brothers suburban and travel trailer in the driveway, overhead does not (i stored his stuff for a while and the overhead used to show the trailer) it does however show the back fence in mid-repair last year
My cul-de-sac isn’t on street view, but the aerial view has me, in the backyard, setting up the Intex pop up pool at the beginning of last summer.

Any new ones still visible?
They haven’t updated for my street in at least three years. The shot of my place shows my old cadillac parked in the lot.

A friend of mine moved back to Japan recently and I to check out her apartment on GSV and I amazed at the resolution. It was much better than anything I had seen in the United States and pretty recent to boot. The streets are so narrow, I could move along the street reading the prices in the store windows. I noticed they blurred the faces on posters as well as people.
Barely any streets in my podunk suburb are on street view, least of all mine, which is so narrow you’re not even allowed to park cars along it.
I have to drive about 2 miles before I get to a road that’s even on Street View. Yay being rural!
They only just recently updated the images for Melbourne (higher resolution, some newer streets included). But they were apparently taken over 18 months ago, it looks to be sometime around January 2010 or so; you see a tree in my yard that isn’t there anymore, and the new houses in my friend’s street aren’t shown as being built yet, just empty blocks.
A friend and I did the same kind of thing in high school.
It was class photo day and they lined up the entire 900+ senior class on some portable multi tiered viewing stands. We made sure we were right on the far left edge of the stands. They used one of those slow moving sweeping type of cameras to capture the whole class in a still photo.
As soon as we felt the camera was past us, we jumped down, ran behind the stands and jumped up on the far right side.
When the class photo came out, we were both in it twice at either end of the picture.
The bad news was that someone saw it and told the Principal and we got suspended.
Even worse was the fact that my mom threw out just about all my HS stuff (including the photo) when I left the country for awhile and my dad and her moved to a new home.
All I have to offer is that just down the street from my house there’s a guy riding a unicycle.
Yesterday I went out for a jog. We live in a rural area, and there’s no street view for it on Google Maps. One of those street view camera cars drove by as I was running. So I might show up on Google Maps. I’ll keep checking.
As for the dates of GSV pix, they are shown in the date bar at the upper left corner of the photo. If the same route was shot at different times, the dates (and views) are typically visible by clicking on the horizontal bar for successive or earlier exposures when a clock icon is visible.
I’m in GSV twice. Once walking on sidewalk in 2013 or 2014, and in 2021 riding my bicycle.
I’ve never been in GSV but I saw the camera car drive by me once in Portland, OR. I kept checking for a good couple of years after that day but I never appeared so they must not have used the footage.
My wife – or rather, my wife’s car with her driving it – was caught by the GSV camera car but looking just now that image is longer being used.
The last house we were in we were only there for about 13 months and the GSV shows my car in the drive so it was taken no more than 2 years ago. That’s the closest I think I’ve come to being in GSV.
We’ve been in this house just shy of a year and the GSV image is probably 5 or 6 years old, judging from the growth of some the bushes in the yard.
A former Google Earth satellite view of a house we used to live in I know within a 12-hour window of when the pic was taken. My kids were very young and one night we decided to have a “campout” in the backyard. We rolled out our sleeping bags on a blanket, slept the night, and then returned everything back inside the house the next morning. The GE image shows that blanket/sleeping bag setup. The current GSV image was taken when we lived there, and we left in 2013.
I was on GSV about a decade ago, when the camera truck drove past the building in downtown Chicago where I was working, and several of my colleagues and myself were walking back to the office from lunch.
The GSV photos of my parents’ house show my father walking down the driveway, about to get into their car.
None of the roads in my subdivision are on Google Maps Street View. We are kind of remote. But not bad.
