Maybe now USPS would stop delivering my mail to my neighbor's mailbox!

 

[gimmeausername]

Hurray! No more returned mails because of wrong address

besides being fun, I don't see how this is useful.

 

[gayan]

maybe we need to include the street view as well...to "gently guide" the USPS...

This would only seem to work correctly format wise, if you always live West of your intended recipient. Going from East to West would put the location bubble out of place for the correct formatting required by the postal service.

I want a horse messenger to arrive in person and handing my enemy a challenge to duel and a glove slap in the face.

lol. this is what the temporary usps guy needed when he was delivering mail in my area. Poor guy, he was giving mail not only to wrong people but he was placing mail on the wrong street.

This is just Google showing that thеy're on top of things, kind of like Facebook having Latin or Pirate English as languages.

Does it get more detailed if you're sending it within the same county? Street level?

Its fun. If everyone who thought it would be fun to send one for .50 cents, think of how much money they would make. Remember the pet rock?

 

[JohnnyLucky]

email message sent via snail mail? I don't think so.

I have heard rumours that there are still people around with no net...

and I mean, actually having to leave your house to go outside and interact with real people, come on get serious LOL

People are going to love this!

I can see my envelope now;

"We are sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region. Try zooming out for a broader look."

ermn.... I think Google should just start a normal Mail business if they're gonna do that. I want to send my packages more reliably and cheaper than UPS, doesn't have to be as cheap as USPS, but more reliable please. I hate getting my packages with dents on the box's and than open it up to see half the case missing on my "new" game from Newegg.
