Google Expands Street View to More Countries
Google is updating Street View images in almost 80 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Japan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Serbia, and South Africa. It’s also introducing Street View in new countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Liechtenstein, and Paraguay. Google’s smaller Street View camera, launched in 2022, will make it easier to capture images from even more locations in the future.
Google Maps and Google Earth are also getting clearer satellite images, thanks to a new AI tool that removes clouds, shadows, haze, and mist. This will create “brighter, more vibrant” images, according to Google.
Soon, users will also be able to access historical imagery on Google Earth’s web and mobile apps, a feature that was previously only available on the desktop version of Google Earth Pro. This will allow easier comparison of satellite and aerial images of a location over time.
As a fan of exploring new locations in Street View, I’m eager to check out the streets and landscapes of Bosnia and Namibia as soon as Google releases this update. The Verge contacted Google to find out why its blog post was removed but hasn’t received a response yet.
