Google Stunt Car?

This Seattle error was reported by an anonymous commenter here on Street View Stuff. Check out this view, and then move forward.

It seems that the Google Street View car jumped off the bridge for a little while, and then jumped back on. How in the world did this happen?

Chrome Bug Zapped

According to Download.com, a Street View bug has now been fixed in the new Google Chrome web browser. Google Chrome is an excellent browser; in fact, I'm using it right now to blog this post.

However, the new updated version of Chrome with the Street View bug fixed is a developers-only release, it seems.

Black Hole in Seattle?

These glitches were found by Devin Coldewey at CrunchGear.

This one is quite interesting. Take a look at this view below and move forward.

It just goes black for some reason. It goes on like this for about 3/4 of a mile, until the ramp joins up with Mercer Street.

Strange Something in Seattle

View Larger Map

Someone saw something strange in Seattle's Street Views; so strange since I've not seen something similar anywhere else in Street View.

It looks like another camera error, since if you drag the view to the upper right, you should be able to see the boundaries of this weird thing.

This was sent in by an anonymous commenter here on the blog, and (s)he pointed out that this error is only present along Ninety-fifth Street between its intersections of Thirty-fifth Street and Fourtieth Street.

Another Reason to Take Your Own Bag

Well, it appears that all these plastic shopping bags are wasteful, and now they're getting just plain annoying. Check this out:

For over half a mile of College Road in Fairbanks, Alaska, south of the Bentley Mall, a plastic shopping bag flying in the air landed on the Google Street View camera until the driver had to pull over to get it off.

"Alburquerque"

Although Google is known for their maps, and the Street View feature has been extremely popular, today a mistake was noticed on the map. The city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been misspelled "Alburquerque" on the Google Maps Street View ballon. Thankfully, the name is correct on the map.

This mistake has been reported to Google via their Maps Help Center.

Interesting Weather in Alaska

In the Street View coverage of Anchorage, Alaska, you can see that a few roads in two nearby towns, Girdwood and Alyeska, are covered. Well, there's some weird stuff going on down there. Check this out:

The Google driver possibly had to pull over in Alyeska to wash the cameras off before entering Anchorage; you can see it came into the town via the Seward Highway. The van had probably come through or was going through a rainstorm or snowstorm.

Alyeska is most famous for its ski resorts, so the "bubbles" you see are most likely melted snow.

Poor Google Driver.

Try checking out a street view of the area near the geographical center of New Mexico. Driving a few miles southeast of Mountainair on NM-55, you should see nothing but desert until you reach B029, where you'll find this:

The poor Google driver had to drive the Google van out to the middle of the desert, and three miles of this was lost. This was probably an error with the camera, but how it got fixed so soon is a mystery. However, if you were hoping to see the geographical center of New Mexico, you'll probably be disappointed.
