OT - A Road That Google Street View Decided Not To Go Down

Dec 21, 2021 Last reply: 4 years ago 26 Replies

Google Maps, Satellite view, zoom way in.


4405 Neese Lane, Moss Point, MS

Looks like the street view car went down every street in the area except for this one. I wonder why not.

In all 3 street view snapshots too.

Bet some relo or vip lives there.

Corse now the SS has you in their sights.

I bet it's because of the dirt road.

Lot of development streets not covered but comical here is that view from street in back is blurred.

Plenty of ours with dirt roads got done fine.

Good question. Not every street gets done by them. I found a whole bunch in rural Texas farmland where there was probably nothing to see anyhow. But usually there is a reason.

Did you notice that in map view the street is grey, not white? Maybe that's a clue that street view won't exist.

I could be wrong, but it looks like the other end of Neese Ln, on the west side of Trehem St, has the same type of road surface, specifically, asphalt in need of some serious repair.

The Street View car went down that street.

The F*ck You on the roof of the address I posted just might happen to be the reason.

It's not comical, it was quite possibly requested.

You do that via the "Report a problem" link on the Street View page.

I'm guessing that if the owner went through the trouble to put F*ck You on the roof, he probably went through the trouble to request that the view of the back of the house be blurred.

Of course, all it takes is one click of the scroll wheel on my mouse and the back side view becomes clearly visible.

Dunno why they couldn?t have just greyed out that place.

Maybe Google's heat sensing imagery system picked up a redneck with a shot gun sitting on the front porch.

Not even possible from the end of the street and doesn?t explain the blurring of the back view of that place.

More likely they saw whats on the roof on the satellite view and chose to avoid that street for that reason.

How did you discover that street doesn?t have a street view ?

You could ring the redneck and ask him

I already gave a possible explanation for the blurring of the back view. Try to keep up.

Did you think I was serious about "Google's heat sensing imagery system"?

What's your favorite word? Oh yeah...stupid

I used my mouse, stupid.

I'd hire that roofer just to piss off the neighbors. Great job!

If I may ask, what brought you (virtually, I assume) to little ol' Moss Point? It's not exactly a major destination in the area. Just passing through?

I think you can only see at most the bottom half of that from the street, and only from a small part of the block, not all of it. OTOH, they do show the sat. view, all of it. So I don't think that's the reason.

More likely, it is a private road. They won't usually go down private roads, particularly in the south. Gunfire and million dollar cameras don't do well together.

More of your mindless bullshit with that gunfire s*it.

They also don't go down some public roads, so unless we know that it's a private road, "more likely" may not apply.

In addition, as I noted in another post, Street View is available for the other section of Neese Ln, the section on the west side of Trehem St. Is it possible that the west side of Neese is public and the east side is private? I guess it is, but something just makes me feel that the F*ck You has more to do with the lack of Street View than a public vs. private road issue.

BTW...do you have a cite that backs up your "million dollar cameras" statement?

Regular folks can purchase Google Street View "approved" cameras for under $5K.

I'm not saying that Google uses $3500 - $5000 cameras on their vehicles, but it's a long way from that price range to $1,000,000.

Care to walk back (or back up) that statement?

Wow. Publish directly to google from the camera. My street is already on google. Do you suppose I could walk around my yard and get some of those little blue dots on the google map? I think so. I've seen little blue dots at touristy places and now it doesn't seem like something google would have done.

This is just software, and copies are free to the copyright owner, but have you noticed that with google street view, you can look up, and you can look down, and you can look all around in a circle, and you'll never see the car, not its roof or its hood or headlights, or the person wearing the camera, not his feet or his head or his belly. They have software that gets rid of it!!!!
