Hi guys,

Fist of all, thank you so much for making available such database for free!

Second, I am curious to know if all the geo positions available are all valid in Google Street View?

For example, imagine lat=10000;log=10000 (just a crazy example here) is a valid position in the world. It so happens to be a point in the middle of nowhere in the Atlantic ocean.

Now, although this is valid in Google Maps, it does not exist in Street View, since they didnt map the Atlantic Ocean

So, are all points in the data set valid? I know the Street View JavaScript API has a method to validate if lat/log are valid, but wanted to ask this first.

Thanks.
