Get your red / blue glasses ready

[+The Bongtwashes]

I've just noticed that Streetview on Googlemaps can now be displayed in 3D mode. Luckily our kids have got the Spykids 3D DVD.

I feel I'm missing out.... where can I get the glasses?

This really works! (Thought keehotee might have been having me on with an April fool at first )

Make your own?

 

Another couple of things I've just noticed, don't know how long they've been there...

You can have a Lat/Long label showing by your cursor, and you can drop a stationary Lat/Long marker at any point. In both cases the display is +/- decimal degrees, but we all know how to convert to H DD MM.MMM don't we?

Just ordered mine 2 pairs for 99p + 29p postage, from fleabay. UK stock so shouldn't take too long.

Not obvious how you do this. Here is what I found out, click on the green 'bottle' top right and select "LatLng Marker" from new screen which opens and select enable. Right click to drop co-ords.

So where's the addon that tells me where the cache is? Do I still have to go and look for it myself?

The cache shows*... Just view via the Google Maps link on the cache page.

 

Only need the Addon to log the find!

 

* Requires the cache to be near a road that has Streetview.

That doesn't really cut it, I was rather hoping for something that would tell me which part of the gate the nano is attached to, which junction box hides the micro and so on. Something like a little red "cache is here" arrow would do the trick nicely.

 

... which makes me wish I'd thought of that a few days ago, when I could have posted it in the style of a news update as an April Fools prank.

Couldn't you see that?

Nor the cachers eye.

 

If there's only the one green BT box, where can the cache be?

Unfortunately the greyed out arrow showing "The cache would have been here, had it not been muggled" doesn't seem to be working on mine

Well it was working for me last night, but not now.

Who cares about 3D Street View, I was having a great conversation with a giraffe on chatroulette using Google's new animal translate feature and that's not working now either!

actually the "3d" view is still available. you just have to hit the "3" key while in street view (not the "3" on the keypad, and focus has to be on the street view frame) to toggle it on and off.
