Yes, Map nerd, I'm very familiar with the Traffic button -- what I meant was theh capability to bring the real time traffic overlay into an embed, as I believe you can do with the streetview?

Do Work Son! I just took a leisurely Sunday googledrive through Hollywood Knolls, and I stumbled across Rob n Big's airbrushed mini-horsetrailer, parked on a curb.

Now if only we could embed real-time traffic overlays ;-)Have you tried clicking the button that says Traffic at the upper-right side of the Google map? :-) It's only the freeway traffic at present, and I confess I much prefer the freeway-traffic maps at Sigalert.com, and the LADOT surface-street maps at trafficinfo.lacity.org, but I can't get those on my partner's Blackberry, like I can Google Maps.

Google maps is great. I recently started playing with it and incorporated places where photos were taken. It's great.

Creepy is right! I just saw both my parents house, and mine... you can see right inside their open windows to the point where you just make out what's playing on the tv. It's quite disconcerting to imagine the little Google spy-car driving down into my parents cul-de-sac, filming their home, then doing a u-turn and driving away. Gives me the heeby-jeebies I tell ya...

lovely our house has been immortalized w/the half painted fence - B&W, surprised the dogs aren't sitting out front posing for photos

My house will be forever immortalized with a port-a-potty on our front lawn, due to our neighbors' now-completed construction project. Google, you're really mean.
