One is annoying and easy to fix. The other is annoying and hard to fix.Firstly, some of the coordinates don't have a panorama associated with them anymore and so there is no Street View for that location but I need to look again. I have a script that will find those and discard them - around 200 so far. The other problem is that the new captures have replaced some of the older, classic views. That's harder to detect because everything works - it just doesn't make sense. That naked man walking down the high street is just a plain old boring high street now.The other problem is that the new captures have replaced some of the older, classic views.

I think I can find them all by capturing a thumbnail of each view like I do for the site and comparing the old and the new. If they're radically different, something changed.
