The story here is that someone secretly affixed a GPS tracker on a Google Street View camera car and you can follow the car’s progress using Google Maps while it’s photographing the streets of Berlin. Sort of ironic, isn’t? But either the car seems to be stopped or Google caught wind of the stalkers because I haven’t seen any progress the last few minutes. Or maybe they’re eating. Either way, click through for the live Google Map.

In Berlin it’s dark after 5 PM and Google Street View pics are only taken under sunlight. Maybe it is parked but in a very strange location because according the GPS, the car should be in front of the Presidential Residence. Parking is not allowed there.
We are studying in Germany right now and we say the google street view car and the FAT(Free Art & Technology) car following it. We were really excited to see the Google Car.
