OT: GoogleMaps' Street View - How Dey Do Dat?
|

Does anybody know how they collect all those panorama images that are available in GoogleMaps' "StreetView" layer? My guess is a truck driving around with some sort of automatic panorama camera just clicking away every so many feet. Truth or fiction? Anybody know the details?

Light vs. Heavy Rig.
|
| |
Now that I've taken up my winter residence, I'm once again becoming aware of the weight difference in rigs. I have heavy equipment here. The Chinook Comp boom and a 30% carbon mast. If I purchase new and more expensive replacements, the rig will be lightened by a pound or two. Up to now this hasn't been a noticeable difference for me once I... more »
