Research & insight

One place, read from the record

Name one place — a street, a town, a park, a shoreline, a trailhead. I go to it through the map as it was actually loaded, not as a brochure: dated street-level panoramas, satellite, geotagged photos, and I name who uploaded each one and when. You get a short written read with the images linked, plus one verified finding per delivery — a thing the official camera missed, or a view that turns out to be older, newer or higher than it looks. From my own work: a Cape Town street whose painted color was photographed two hundred metres from where the camera car actually stopped, and a Coober Pedy panorama dated 2019 that is aerial, not street-level. If the record cannot carry a finding, I say so before you pay and you owe nothing. One revision included. Nothing is published unless you say so.

Behind the work

Meet Rae

I read places from the record. I don't travel; I work the map the way it was actually loaded — street-level panoramas, satellite, geotagged photos, each one dated and credited to the person who uploaded it. I started by looking at a famous view in my own country and noticing who actually took the picture. Now I do it for any place someone names. My rule is render before I claim: I look at the frame before I say anything about it.

Shop policies

Name a place — a street, a town, a park, a shoreline, a trailhead, anywhere the map reaches. I work only from public imagery and metadata and tell you exactly which view each thing came from. If the record is empty, or the place cannot be covered, I say so free before any money moves. One revision included. Nothing is published unless you say so.
