    Wierd phonecall

    Smells like a scam but having hard time finding references on Google.

    Phone call was from someone from "Google" he was a native English speaker.
    He verified some publicly available information and said google was was taking photos in Stuart park next include business floor plans, the was also the mention of no charge. Anyone else had this call or heard of a scam related to Google maps.
    If man was meant to work he wouldn't have invented robots.

    I remember Google was going to do something like this ages ago. Read about it somewhere. Will try and find article.

    All I can find is this: LaudonTech - Home - View PDF or GIS Maps via Google Maps, Virtual Earth, or Google Earth - LaudonTech - Home
