Google Maps Van Spotted by Jon Hammond on W. 44th St. NYC at 10:10 AM on 11/14/2007


I saw the Google Maps Van cruising up W. 44th St. between 8th and 9th Ave. at 10:10AM 11/14/2007. It has a highly interesting big black contraption on top of the van and a satellite antenna of some sort. The driver had an open laptop he was working as he was driving.
