Google Street View car roaming Leuven, Belgium

While getting on the freeway this noon, I noticed a strange looking vehicle with an Italian license plate in front of me sporting some type of roof-cam. It looks like Internet giant Google has started to roam the Leuven streets, snapping photos of city streets, buildings, landmarks, and just about anything else as part of the virtual online map called Street View. This comes about a month after their car was spotted traversing Brussels. Once Street View for Leuven becomes available on Google Maps I'll make sure to be on the lookout for "My Picture" ;-)

I spotted it twice today. At the philipssite and the Tiensepoort. Same Italian car. 6 camera's on top. A little sticker on the front of the car with "Google Maps"
