Cache found using Streetview
I had a DNF on a cache this morning and then when I was back on my computer I pulled up streetview using GSAK.
When I zoomed in I noticed that something which I remembered seeing at GZ was missing from the image. Had another visit to GZ and yep it was the well camouflaged cache.

Interesting method for finding the cache, I like it!!!
In the risk of hijacking the thread, blossom* did it work? anything noticeable?

Google Maps Streetview at TECIS
Don't think the Google camera van quite managed to squeeze in past the gate to approach TECIS GZ. However, you can in fact view the gate off the Comenarra Parkway . . . not that it will help much!blossom* wrote: I wonder if you could do that with Come In Sucker?!!!!!

Re: Cache found using Streetview
Have heard of instances though where cachers have been caught by the Streetview Van:
Heres an example:

or

for the forums
If you go back a frame you can see him looking at his GPS

Re: Cache found using Streetview
I've double checked coordinates for a puzzle once, with street view (Made sure GZ wasnt someones house!)

Re: Cache found using Streetview
There's an old multi in Sydney that involves driving all over town to about 8 WPs which was published before StreetView. Now you can get the info from 7 of the WPs without leaving your desk. Not that I would do that...
