Google Maps Street Views - 5 Best Sites to Find Top Street View Sightings

With the release of Google Maps Street Views comes the fad of street view sightings. Yes, people all over the internet are scouring the Google Maps Street Views program for odd and interesting street life sightings. Everyday people on the street are being "caught" picking their nose, sunbathing, coming out of a questionable establishment, even urinating in public! While this street view technology is still new for Google and comments about this technology vary from "cool" to "kind of creepy", the Street View option has gone totally viral as viewers search the streets to find the ultimate street view sighting.

Google Maps users are "dragging and dropping" and using the 360 degree panoramic option, and looking for funny and/or controversial images within the five cities Google Maps Street Views now covers. Hate to break it to you, but that "funny stuff"..that "controversial" image... could be you.

Aside from the mixed reaction of Google Street Views, internet users are looking for the best of the best, and looking for sites to submit their street view sightings to share with the world.

Here are (in my opinion) the Top 5 Sites for Street View Sightings.

1. streetviewr.com

This site boasts over 300 submissions already (as of this writing)! The owner of this site accepts and displays to notable street view sightings. Some are interesting, some are hard to see. Images are not directly on this site, but instead link to Google Maps directly and serves more an an indexing site.

2. googlesightseeing.com

This site actually shows the street view sightings on the page and viewers are free to comment and submit. Sightings are broken down into four categories; Latest Sights, Sights by Locality, Sights by Category, and Maps of Recent Sights. GoogleSightSeeing.com also lists images taken with Google Maps GPS function.

3. streetviewfun.com

Neat site that rates the Top 10 Google Street View Sightings. Being that Google Maps Street View is still in its infancy, and add to it the number of votes the site has already received, I imagine this will turn out to be a premier site for Street View Sightings.
