Was it the RAC building?

That's the one Hazy, cheers!

Noticed that their images for Scotland have been updated, makes quite a good comparison when you look at the older BING / Live maps which are about 8 or 9 yers old now.

Had a wee chuckle when looking at Edinburgh, as they've managed to capture some of the Tram 'destruction' on Princes street.

Picture of the Squiggly bridge, i'm sure there will be better ones than this....

Galston makes it onto Google Maps

Anyone else appreciate the irony of a Google Maps car getting lost in the back of beyond (on a wet Monday morning too)?

Not quite.

It looks as though the driver has the sense to skirt around the periphery by using the A71/A719 rather than drive into Galston itself

[BrigitDoon]

As far as I can see, the driver set out from Edinburgh to drive the length of the A71, became frightened by the schoolkids at the roundabout on the edge of Galston and fled for the safety of Glasgow.

[Dave]

Well the driver went through Darvel and Newmilns according to your calculations. That being the case they should have taken shelter in Galston.

I'm reckoning they sided with danger and thought - "Galston, pfft. Let's go somewhere properly desolate." - and headed eastwards.

Is that Harry Worth's granddaughter?

[Josef]

Nah, her leg is on the ground.

It's probably just someone going for the Hogwarts train.

That's Ian Cairns driving that taxi. All we need now is Brian Reilly trying to get my guitar licks off pat, the big fud.

OK second time lucky, seems they did every backroad and everything, very thorough job GSV.

[Glesga_Steve]

A colleague told me there is an article in one of today's tabloids about GSV. It apparently stated that GSV now has something like 95% coverage of the UK.

I've tried a dozen or so random locations and every one had coverage so it looks as though the claim may be true.

Thorough indeed

Yup, huge swathes of the country now added. Was perturbed to see they've done as far as Yell in the Shetland Isles but didn't bother with Unst - seems a shame to have gone that far given you could have driven all the roads on Unst in a morning!

I love Shetland addresses. Three lines of address, three words.

Altnamore
Otterswick
Yell

Or, on occasion, just the two words.

Vicarage
Mid-Yell

Fabulous. None of yer new-fangled street numbers, names, or postcodes here, guv.
