GESV or GMSV, please.

I can't find the SV (like krenek I suppose) so here's a BD and a GE3D.

This is a Bluedot!

BluesCat Are you sure that the image posted by you is a GE/GM Street View and not a Bluedot? I am not able to find a matching GSV. krenek's image appears to be GM 3D, which, in my case, is not rendering properly.

Searched around and found this Google Street View.

The real street view.

CuriousJM, yes, it is a SV, I just checked it again. It is elusive, but it is correct.

I found an GMSV (I can't replicate it in GE) that is almost the exact spot as shown in the OP.

You can see it by the small map which I expanded to make viewing easier:

Well done all!

Correct!

Thanks, BluesCat, for the pegman location. Your original image is not Google's Street View but some third party's (Wayne Leon's) Street View. I could access it by dropping the pegman slightly on the right of the regular blue line of GSV. Moreover, regular GSV imagery is from July 2019, whereas the imagery in Wayne Leon's Street View is from June 2022.



Third-party GSVs or Bluedots always show the poster's name (in this case, Wayne Leon), and the copyright information is given as "Images may be subject to copyright," while the GSVs give the copyright information as just the year followed by Google, e.g., "© 2024 Google".

I had checked that SV like I'm sure everyone else did, and this is what I saw (left). There is a BD near it by that same Wayne Leon, but not like the OP image (right).

ask the scrutiniser!

here is how to find wayne leon's capture:

1) launch GM, go to the location and click "show the imagery"



it opens a panel

2) check the images with the SV logo (rotating arrow)



quod erat demonstrandum, yeah!

Thanks krenek but unfortunately it isn't working on a telephone, even if I try to use CuriousJM's method with swiping up. No menu appears, and in the GE app I see photos but not 360. I'll try next time I'm on my PC.

I went back to check the location and saw the Wayne Leon BD is where I found the image yesterday (see my post which quoted CurriousJM).  The BD was not there yesterday and doesn't show on the small map.  Sorry, I didn't notice the copyright information yesterday.  If you click the SV at the location it opens the BD.

I too went back (again) and woah! There was the little elusive son-of-a BD half hiding under the SV pretending he's an SV when he's not (right? Or am I mistaken?).

I knew there were no SVs in the air! Again, right? Or am I mistaken?
