∙ 13y agoThey actually took those pictures by driving a truck with a weird many-lensed camera like a huge bug eye down those streets and then joining the images together. Someplace on Google Maps (or maybe in a news article on another website--I forget) there's a page that explains that and shows a picture of the truck. That's why the street views aren't available everywhere yet. You could probably learn more by googling Google Maps Street View.
they drove cars around with cameras on the roof and took very high quality pictures. street view is amazing, thank you google for giving it to us.

∙ 13y agoStreet View provides users 360° horizontal and 290° vertical panoramic street level views within Google Maps and Google Earth.
Google collects these photographs using special cameras and equipment that capture and match images to a specific location using GPS devices. Once the images are captured, they are "sewn" together to create a 360° panorama. Faces and license plates are blurred before the panorama images are served and become viewable online.
Details and history of Street View can be found in the related links below.

How can i see an image of my house using a satellite?
Best bet would be to use Google Maps or Google Earth.Just type in an address from either and it will fly-to that location showing best available aerial or satellite images. With Google Maps you may need to change to the Satellite or Earth View if you're in Map view. Then you can enable Street View to see if high-resolution street-side photographs are available.There are also alternatives to websites like Google Maps and software like Google Earth. See related questions and related links below for alternatives.If you cannot find what you're looking for and want to purchase high resolution images then there are a number of image providers such as those that provide imagery to Google (e.g. DigitalGlobe, GeoEye). Try doing an Internet search for satellite and aerial imagery.
