If you’re anything like us, you’ve been experiencing major geek covetousness ever since Google Maps launched its Street View functionality late last month. The feature (which may seem similar to past users of Amazon’s A9.com) shows street-level photos of locations. Users can move smoothly from spot to spot, rotating their view and taking in the sights.

Unfortunately, Google Maps’ coverage of D.C. doesn’t feature any of the blue outlines that signify Street View-equipped roads. But that may be changing: Google Blogoscoped brings word (and a picture) of a tricked-out VW bug in downtown D.C. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but their correspondent reports that it boasted a camera on its roof and the logo of the company that’s taking the Street View photos for Google. From the looks of it, the car was parked along the 1600 block of M Street, right by the National Geographic Society.

So does this mean D.C. will be digitized in short order? It’s hard to say. Maybe Google was just putting on a demo for somebody in the area. Still, now might be a good time to put something in your front yard for future Google sightseers.
