Acworth

Category: Uncategorized

I saw this the other day at my friends site

One of the Google Maps camera cars was at a gas station in Acworth the other day.  

Google has been sending cars driving around certain metro areas to give a photographic view to Google Maps users.

It’s a pretty cool feature, and I’ve often wondered about how these cars are setup. This one was a Chevy Cobalt (with California tags). There was a laptop mounted in the front seat (like a police car might have), and the wires went through the back door window on the driver’s side up to the camera equipment on the car roof.

First, a look at the equipment mounted on the roof.

And then a few shots of the car.

Acworth is big time now ladies and gentlemen!

    I expected “Acworth is officially on the map” or something. :-)
