Cool site. Wonder why they don't link to the actual Google Maps Street View image. (Some of these make me question their authenticity.)

I like this, but I am getting a lot of weird behavior. Sometimes clicking the image so I can pan it moves me to the previous image. Using the arrow keys sometimes pans the image, sometimes it takes me to the previous image. Firefox 26.0, Windows 7
Heh, well that will teach me for boasting about my site. I just did a big UI update and am ironing out the bugs. When you say 'previous image' do you mean the same image that you would see by clicking the back arrow next to the address?
Also, I have it set on 'auto', and it seems to stop and not continue playing after several images. The play/stop button shows "stop(0)" and does not update. If I press the button twice to toggle playing it resumes (again for a short time).
Not complaining - I found the issues because I like it and am using it.
I don't mean to gatecrash, but as I have been running a near identical site for a few years I feel compelled to comment. The street views generated on this site are not really random; they are picked from a predefined list in a db. This is why duplicates appear after a number of clicks. I run http://www.mapcrunch.com which also generates random street views, but with more options - you can define a region on a map (l…
To be fair to the OP, nothing says it was copied from your site. They could have had the idea from GeoGuessr http://geoguessr.com/ the game where you have to guess where in the world you are based on StreetView, or they could have had it totally on their own too.
It’s quite banal, but it always baffles me that everywhere something is happening at the same time. A wast complexity which we can only make sense of because it all works according the same principles. People build roads, houses, raise families and eventually die. Isn’t there a word for this feeling?
Nice! So interesting. This is the kind of thing that, 30 years ago, you could only dream about. Stuff like this reminds me how much we take things like the Internet and Google Street View for granted, and sometimes you need to step back and think how amazing they are. But stepping forwards to a minor detail... are there keyboard shortcuts? If you click on the image, you can already use Google controls to pan/walk aro…
No, no! Don't do it by population distribution! The rural areas are what I want to see! Ahem . . . I mean, the random distribution ensures that everyone gets to see things they weren't looking for, and that's good.

Anyways, I think your site is much better... thanks for sharing. This is cool.
