The world is a very different place at night, and since I only really use Street View to spot obvious landmarks for navigation, the evening shroud negates this use completely. However, brightly coloured shop/bar lights would be far easier to spot amid the gloom, so I'd like the Google Cars to drive around
again and take photos of everything in the dark. Then a simple click changes the Street View to the Night View.

The Google image processing algorithms may be able to pick
out lights or things which might be lights from a daytime
image and simulate a night-time view. To do this properly
though it would be best to have the Google cars drive around
and experience every possible combination of time of day
and weather in every location, so you'd be able to call up
Google Rainy Twilight View, for example. |

Yes [po], this'd be perfect for Vegas. |

And [hippo], I knew you someone was going to suggest some kind of all-weathers, all-times version. Your anno was the equivalent of the QI alarm going off in my head. |

It's always struck me as odd that the whole of the planet on Google Earth is in daylight. Have they got secret extra suns that they haven't told us about or something? |
