GE's Cartography Vehicle

Got a glimpse of one of GE's 'secret weapons' about an hour ago. You know, the compact vehicle with the GPS dome on the trunk and the mast - with some kind of do-hicky (360 degree camera I think) mounted to it - on the roof. Oh, and the Google Earth decals on each side and the CA plates. Yup, it passed right by me on my block while I was sitting outside. And no, the driver didn't wave. wink
