dabhand Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I stay near the top of Khao Noi and happened to see a car with a camera on top coming down my little lane. We weren't included on the previous update, although other villages were, as I believe our security kept them out (unusual, as he is normally sleeping!!). So looks like we will be on the next update. Presumably they are updating their pictures of other parts of Pattaya, if not the whole town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) It's time. Most material is from 2012. With the rapid changes in Pattaya often obsolete. Usually the Google cars are very striking. Did it look like this?: Edited June 2, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 No, not multi coloured, as in the photos, but with similar looking photo equipment on top. It was hatchback car with logo on the side but couldn't make out the name. Don't think Google name was included in he logo, but could be wrong. Yes, as you say, the current photos are quite old and were needing to be updated, particularly up my way - and most areas of the Darkside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was stunned that they made it to our upcountry village. I feel encircled The coverage is very extensive nowadays. I just noticed that they also made to most of Cambodia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) German. "Birma" is a variant of "Burma". As we learned the Burmese are just the majority group. So they have renamed it to Myanmar. I didn't think about it, have overlooked it. But only basic geography knowledge needed to "remap" "Kambodscha" comes a bit closer to the native name (~ Kampuchea) than Cambodia.

Those inside views of airports and shopping centers are pretty cool ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
