Google Streetcar in Berlin

OH SNAP!! Google had one of their Streeview camera cars parked in front of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt right here in Berlin. We put a GPS tracking device it and are following it right now!!!! Check this awesome large map we threw together (updates every 2 min) and follow what we see at @fffffat (twitter) (this will be EPIC!!!!)

Would be nice to show a bit of a “how to”
The device you’re using – pics of the street view car in Berlin etc.

Pics or it didn’t happen :)

This is epic guys! Well done!

Fernando Fonseca added these pithy words on Feb 06 10 at 10:36 am

vweeeeally good :D

Filipe P added these pithy words on Feb 06 10 at 12:56 pm

Ha! Great, if I was in Berlin I would spend the days running naked in front of the car.

DieTapete added these pithy words on Feb 06 10 at 4:30 pm

Awesome! Fantastic! Amazing!

Billy added these pithy words on Feb 06 10 at 6:10 pm

LOL @ Mr. Doob :)

Great work people!

JJ added these pithy words on Feb 06 10 at 6:32 pm

If anybody sees that car….use your imagination!

red added these pithy words on Feb 06 10 at 8:52 pm

I don’t think you’re using the word EPIC correctly… XD

Ouch.

Google added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 12:40 am

So fuck google but you use their maps, mail, and search since they are the best right?

KieranMullen added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 1:53 am

Leute, wo bekommtm an denn so schnell einen GPS Sensor her – und wie wird der später (oder gar in Echtzeit) wieder ausgewertet?. Kommt mir irgendwie ein bisschen abgesprochen vor

Jay added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 5:32 am

what kind of gps tracking device did you use? brand and model plz

andre added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 7:10 am

stimme zu: fuck google! elende datenhändler!

Angela Merkel Nackt added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 7:26 am

Jay, ich gebe dir recht, mir kommt das auch ein wenig komisch vor. Ein GPS-Sender ist nicht was, was man zufällig mal dabei hat und dass ganz zufällig auch noch das Auto vor dem HdKdW steht, ist mir auch ein Zufall zu viel.

BerlinChrl added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 8:26 am

great guys! any howto?

nazim added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 10:27 am

Its probably one of those cheap GPS trackers that you can buy from ebay. They are so cheap that anyone can buy those and stalk anyone. Well, almost anyone. http://shop.ebay.com/280460265566

Ash Ketchum added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 10:50 am

Wow, who cares?

lol added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 1:04 pm

This is cool ! :D
But why not to have chosen openStreetMaps ? It whould have make more sense…

Neewok added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 7:36 pm

would*

Neewok added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 7:37 pm

they’re like “fuck google, it sucks, omg look at that shit, google is fuck” but oops, they’re using Google Maps!

andre added these pithy words on Feb 07 10 at 8:05 pm

GoogleMaps ist good, like every other map. But Streetview is only bad. Other Cities didn’t let the GoogleCar drive in her city.

Merlin added these pithy words on Feb 08 10 at 4:36 am

It still amazes me the people amazed by this type of technology are so fuckin’ articulate! Choice of words and clarity of expression RULEZ

moose added these pithy words on Feb 08 10 at 7:17 am

Fantastic. Please, please do upload the GPX tracklog to OpenStreetMap.org for epic lulz.

OSM Mapper added these pithy words on Feb 08 10 at 8:58 am

Es sind aber auch Spinner im Netz unterwegs lol. Aber täglich World of Warcraft spielen und “Epic” schreiben… Blizzard has got a Terminal, where they can see every online WoW Version in every country! Stupid nerds :-)

Wenn man vorm Rechner sitzt und kein Leben hat, dann muss man ja trotzdem irgendwas machen lol.

dexter added these pithy words on Feb 08 10 at 9:38 am

google is cutting a deal with “NSA” . RIGHT NOW

darkman added these pithy words on Feb 09 10 at 2:32 am

GOOGLE . do no evil . now the total informational awareness “colossus”

darkman added these pithy words on Feb 09 10 at 2:33 am

Haha, tracking them on Google maps.. see, you guys need Google ;)

Dolph added these pithy words on Feb 09 10 at 6:04 am

notme added these pithy words on Feb 09 10 at 6:48 am

THIS IS FAKE!
NO GPS DEVICE TRACKS THIS LAME. A STREET VIEW CAR DOES NOT DO THIS TRIP FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
NICE TRY GUYS! YOU MAY BE FUCKIN GOOGLE, BUT YOU ALSO DESERVE A DICKSLAP FOR LYING.

hey retards, where is the 2 minutes update? did someone just fell asleep at rhq?

rezo added these pithy words on Feb 10 10 at 2:53 am

You, dear sir, are idiots. All of us. And that’s why world hate german people.

Lindar added these pithy words on Feb 10 10 at 1:21 pm

Hey The pics are FAKED BY F.A.T. They used the faked google street view car to cheat all of us.They think you guys are the biggest sucker FUCK F.A.T

SELVARAJAN added these pithy words on Feb 24 10 at 11:27 am

hey people, I know it’s not easy and it also has not much to do with the subject… but… still… it’s vital. If you don’t speak the language, keep your thoughts to yourself or stay with german sites, the world already knows about the bad reputation of germans trying to express themselves in english… you don’t have to make it worse… “I shame myself for my english” http://www.flickr.com/photos/fabi_k/3217750948/

k-man added these pithy words on Feb 25 10 at 11:18 am

about Google Street-View issues:
in my opinion the majority benefits, so if you are against it, expel yourself from using Google service forever and go back to your hut in the boonies, the car will not bother you there… otherwise you could easily be called a hypocrate… which is a pretty common behavior in Germany

k-man added these pithy words on Feb 25 10 at 11:32 am

oh, and about the guy who put the GPS unit on the Google car… you are real hero… NOT! How would you like it if I put that on your car? Well, think about it buddy

k-man added these pithy words on Feb 25 10 at 11:41 am

@k-man: you did see this, right? might help before you act a fool on the interwebs. http://fffff.at/google-street-view-car/. also, we’re international, not germans.

Greg Leuch added these pithy words on Feb 25 10 at 2:49 pm

Hello,

I found your site via Google search.

Should we fuck google?

Something added these pithy words on Feb 26 10 at 8:27 am

If only more people would hear about this.
