Peter,

Indeed. I'm too old and too cynical to think that Google's desire for World=

domination is a good thing. A sound map cannot be representative of anythin=
g
other than the habits of local sound recordists. Where would each one of us=

place a "representative" live mic? How would this be systematised to get
comparable results? For instance does that woman yelling in a New York
square represent American cities?

Much more likely, people will soon suss out where these mics are and use
them for their own nefarious purposes.
