Google Maps

Today I was using Google maps to plan a bike route for a ride I'm planning. When I called up the steps and "street view" I couldn't believe it. There was my Triumph as clear as day on the street view map. It appears to be taken in 2019.

That's a long time to be broken down. Though it is a Triumph.

In addition to broken down cars , there are a few instances of Google Street View catching errant spouses...

Yeah, you’re right but it’s been 5 years since it was taken. Right place, at the Right time.

A few years ago Fiat employees in Sweden noticed the Google car going by ... and quickly jumped into a Fiat 500 and parked in from front of VW offices for a few seconds just in time for the Google car to get the picture.
