German Pranksters Attach GPS Device to Google Street View Car [MAP]

Google начинает готовить StreetView для Европы.
Замечательно и через пару лет появятся свои карты для Европы и бизнесу Teleatlas и Navteq настанет конец.

This one will definitely put a smile on the faces of all those who think Google’s Street View service is invading their privacy: members of German Free Art & Technology group (F.A.T.) have noticed Google’s Street View car in Berlin and decided to attach a GPS device onto it and track its movement.

The result of their efforts can be seen on a large map, and although it doesn’t seem to show anything out of the ordinary – the Google Street View car seemed to be driving around Berlin as it should be, until they realized they’re tracked and removed the GPS device – but it was nice to be able to reverse the roles and snoop on Google, even for a short while.
