My Street Map (ATBW Blog)

My Street Map is a non-profit organization founded on ATBW Blog in May of 1998 that records street view of towns in North America. It was one of the most popular programs on ATBW Blog before it was outpaced by Google Street View in 2007.

History
The idea started in 1995 and it took three years to develop a vehicle capable of street view technology. Street mapping started in California City, CA in June of 1998 and eventually expanded towards the country later on in the late 2000's. They used four cameras that pointee south, west, north, and east, and all four would photograph the road once every second. Eight cameras were added in 2001 and quality enhancements were added in 2007. In 2010, the company began using 180 degree cameras and 4K resolution cameras were put into use in 2015.

However, the service was not very reliable and efficient, and google street view, released in 2007, made My Street Map obsolete, though MSM would continue long afterwards by street mapping roads google street view will not get.
