Following up on that earthmine post I wrote a couple weeks ago, WebWare has a short sneak peak of the new streetview-like images that earthmine is generating. The new earthmine site offers a short flash movie depicting the new service as well. Keep a close eye out during that movie because they use Mission between 4th and 3rd as the demo location. The location tagged in the movie as "flowers by doug" is, in fact, a Beard Papa's. I may not trust a company that is known to mislabel the location of my favorite creme puffs.

Has anyone else seen a suspicious SUV with what looks like a tall rectangular speaker on top in the Bay area? I was at the Noe Valley courts in San Francisco when an SUV with "earthmine" printed on the side stopped at the corner of Elizabeth and Douglass and the guy got out to adjust whatever bit of equipment was on the roof. As I remember it, the logo is the same as www.earthmine.com but that site doesn't have anything useful on it (other than a local whois address). I know many people have seen the street view cameras on top of cars for Google Maps, has anyone else seen this vehicle?
