Spotted?!?! Fifth Generation Google Street View Camera in Zurich

Bookmark and Share

This morning while walking to work around 0915 I saw a Google Street View car at Hardbrücke out front the Freitag shop. The camera looked slightly different to my previous sighting two years ago in Basel, so I whipped out my trusty iPhone and snapped a picture. A quick look at the Wikipedia page on Street View seems to indicate that this is the 5th generation camera.

The driver had pulled over and was mucking about with what looked like a windscreen-mounted GPS device, which suggests that the driver may not have been in capture mode. That area has been a bit of a construction mess for teh past year so I could easily see him a bit lost. (Then again, maybe my fuzzy face will show up on Street View sometime soon.)
