Keen eyes noticed that Google Maps' street view function was recently switched on for some roads within the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, as reported in SLAC Today. The Google van, which sports a roof-mounted 360°-view camera, had at some time in the past year or so driven through SLAC and snapped shots of the roads as it went, entering via the Alpine Rd gate and exiting on Sand Hill Rd. Take the tour yourself starting here.
In November, Google Maps made news connected with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory when for some strange reason, the lab began to show up 15 miles west of its real location, as reported in the Kane Country Chronicle. After contacting Fermilab contacted Google, the location search started working correctly again.
