pricing from street view map
« on: March 19, 2009, 04:09:02 pm »
wow what a great idea google have come up with, you go to maps, put the street and area you want to see, and you get every angle great to view before you go to a new job, at least you know what you are getting into, it is like you are really there, it is even possible to quote a price from this, funny thing is i can only get scotland, i think they are still adding the streets onto the map

see how it works

It may give you an impression of how much to charge, but I doubt it would show you locked gates, back gardens covered in obstacles, the actual height of a building (I mean I've 1st floor windows as high as 2nd floor windows); parking; and other access problems.

Call me negative, but I don't think you can beat actually going to view a property to give a proper quote.

Well, I tried it and all I got was a map ???

Not only that, when I put my address in, the pointer saying "31 Woodberry Drive" was actually pointing at no 37.  They'd better watch out if I'm on Al Qaeda's hit list ;D ;D
