It seems as though some cities are literally posing for the cameras with the expansion of Google Earth’s Street View. Previously some companies have prepared special scenes to be viewed from the air, such as crop circles, or even company logos.

However now that Street View is enjoying such massive popularity we’ve heard reports of whole cities being dressed up to pose for the cameras. One place that’s really trying to improve its image is Windsor, Canada which was rather caught out when the Google cars first visited.

According to gearthblog.com the city was in the midst of industrial action on Google’s first trip with the cameras. Images were captured of trash in the streets, untidy sports fields and even worse, the scene of a recent murder complete with bloody bandages and crime tape.

Although the murder scene images were removed by Google, Ron Jones, a Windsor councillor would like Google to re-visit, even suggesting the council would pay for them to come back to re-shoot the new improved Windsor. While on the surface this sounds like a great idea, it’s not likely that Google will go along with it as otherwise the images collected by the Google cars would not always be truly representative, especially if other places started requesting visits by appointment.

Would you like the Google cameras to return to the area where you live to capture more attractive pictures? Maybe you have some suggestions of places that should be smartened up before the Google cars pass by again?
