What's under the bucket?!

Spotted in upper Willis St today: a car with some interesting apparatus on top, and until moments before this photo was take, a very familiar logo on the side.

Google streetview car?

Looks like we may be seeing a new view of Wellington streets on the web some time soon, and we’ve heard that similar vehicles are cruising the streets of Christchurch as well.

  3. Nicely spotted … and even better to get them on ‘film’ – d’ya think you are now immortalised on Google Earth/Maps

    Well, hopefully the new ProjectX sign is visible from the street.

    Hmmm, I wonder what this means for Terralink. They have brought their own van to record the streets and they’ve missed an opportunity to sell their stuff to Google.

    I am thinking that Terralinks project will go the same way as their fisheye dvd that went to ‘400,000′ businesses – into oblivion

    spotted that very car this morning in wanaka, hopefully “filming” me :)
