Already been to Northern Ireland!

There's quite a bit of Northern Ireland already covered by Google Streetview, but seemingly no-one has actually SEEN the car that does it as there's nothing on TheReg's map but they've definitely been here!

Is it true

Irish people can't see colours towards the red end of the spectrum?

Shame the rest of google maps doesn't work properly in Ireland

So we're getting StreetView eh? Great. Now maybe someone at Google will fix the rest of Google Maps so address search and directions actually work...

@Mr Evans

Are you the Edge?

Also why does www.google.ie exist but maps.google.ie not work?

Through trial and error I've found that if you stick "Ireland" at the end of an address and also drop the "Co." (so e.g. anywhere in Co. Dublin is just Dublin) it (maps.google.co.uk will do reasonably well at locating the address. It's certainly better than maps.live.com...

NI sightings disappeared

There used to be some Northern Irish sightings on the map, but they seem to have disappeared.

Sighting in Taunton too

It seems the all-seeing eye of Google is extending to the South West as well: I saw one of the sinister automobiles the other day just outside Taunton. Didn't have a camera on me though, so no picture for the mashup.

Seen them around Brighton for the last month or two... Tried to get a picture but was a bit too slow. There'll be some good pictures of me fumbling with my phone!
