It will be interesting to see what new forms of social engineering will come about thanks to the neat new street view feature. To be able to check, from across the world, what car someone had in their driveway (or its license plate), or what a sign on a shopfront says, is sure to be good for something criminal.

The better google maps gets, the more places that don't have all the awesome data become in a sense second class citizens. With the exception of bandwidth, the internet has so far tended to flatten these differences out, not accentuate them. So this is also interesting, though it kinda sucks to be there (google can't even resolve my house on their satellite maps).
