Title: Navteq Street View car in Tulsa
Post by: patric on December 19, 2011, 10:35:17 AM
I encountered one of the Navteq 3D mapping vehicles Saturday afternoon on south Lewis ave, turning southbound from 51st street.
It looks like it's got one of those all-vehicle vinyl wrapper signs so there's nothing subtle about their presence  ;D

I saw that downtown-ish late last week one day.

I'm still waiting impatiently for google's streetview to update the images. I saw that car last summer in town.

Hate to revive an old topic, but I did see a Google streetview car yesterday as I was leaving work.  Between 41st and 51st northbound on 129th East Ave.  That mast sure isn't subtle...

I saw a white van yesterday at 61st & 145th E Av that is equipped with the same type of cameras on it. I can't remember the name on it though.

The streetview still hasn't been updated in the areas I saw the google streetview car in last summer. I didn't think it normally takes this long. Maybe there was a problem, hence the reason they're back already.

So, we still get to enjoy the ice storm era for a while longer.

Navteq and street view are different cars. I saw a google car about 3 weeks ago.

I've spotted a Google street view car many a time. Very depressing when later I see the old images.
Anyway a few weeks ago I noticed bing maps now has a street view and has some pretty update images for Tulsa.
