| 1259080 | 2012-02-14 21:58:00 | I have to wonder why New Zealand people have to put up with blurry photos. This may be a privacy thing.:confused: It is hard to read the business name on a building because the sign is blurry. Maybe we are not supposed to know what business resides in the building. I have had a look at the street view in other countries and the photos are much clearer and you can read the signs on buildings and vehicles. |

It's still a pretty powerful search engine to focus on that after only 15 characters ... So what number Baker St are you at, Chill? ;) |

| 1259086 | 2012-02-15 04:14:00 | Well, obviously, nothings been up my way. Started typing in the House number and road name which was interesting to watch as to where it went. By the time I got to the end of the address it just didn't go anywhere. Typed the complete address including the RD number and postcode into a WORD document and then copied and pasted it into the search box. It went to the general area but it didn't hone (rhymes with "home", not "Hon -eh") in (www.thefreedictionary.com) on me. But it is fast!! (Well, as far as I can tell with this "out in the sticks" broadband) ("Ultra fast" fibre broadband?! An Everly Brothers song beginning with "D" springs to mind!! ;) ) | tuiruru (12277) | ||
