 Google are set to unveil the results of a huge survey of UK streets tomorrow.
Currently only a few select cities and other areas have Google Street View coverage but that is set to change.
The Mountain View behemoth will unveil a comprehensive map of the UK with Street View's full 360 degree photo coverage of every major street in the UK.
For the past 18mths Google has been surveying the country and collating the massive amounts of data required to build and offer the full UK Street View map.
Despite privacy concerns the service has proved to be very popular. Google software automatically blurs the faces of individuals captured by Street View where they may otherwise be identifiable and a similar process operates to obscure vehicle number plates.
To check if your neighbourhood has been Google'd check http://maps.google.co.uk tomorrow.
