I love the street view!!!

Coming soon some pics in several mexican cities!!

After seeing these pictures, I have to say that the American Road quality is something to be scared of, we say something about Belgium, but this is really pathetic

They're already up, I was poking around in several Mexico City area neighborhoods last night. Looks like nearly complete coverage of their respective urbanized areas, too (Cancun, Guadalajara, Mexico City and suburbs, Monterrey and Puerto Vallarta).

Greater part Nederlands and Spain is in Google Street View, look it :nocrook: !!!

After seeing these pictures, I have to say that the American Road quality is something to be scared of, we say something about Belgium, but this is really pathetic
Most are ok, some are great, some are bad, just like anywhere else.

The roads around here (Wisconsin) are generally pretty good.

Anyways, does anyone want to speculate on how long it will be before we start seeing heavy coverage of China and Russia?

Mike

The photo quality of street view has signigically improved if you compare the very new photos to the old ones...and that's great :yes: . But sadly I don't think it will ever cover Estonia.

So, has anyone noticed it's now much easier (faster) to explore (longer) roads in street view in Google Maps (by using that rectangle)? I haven't noticed it yet.

Will do! Already working in Poland, will reach Estonia soon, hopefully.

I suggest saving these kind of images as .jpg, since .png's load slow, and take a lot of space (this small picture is over 700 kb).

Fair enough:cheers:

I recommend using a program called EasyPicture, it allows you to resize and change the format of a lot of pictures at once. That's how I made this (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=46004805&postcount=1250) :D

Chris, I resaved and re uploaded hat picture as jpg. Cicerón that looks like a good programme.

I have a questions:

Did you look cars of Google Street View in East, North and South Europe; South America; Asia and where (country) and when (month, year)???

^^Budapest, Hungary, May 2009:

^^ When will Hungary be covered?

That camera mount looks pretty damn tall. I guess they need really attentive drivers. A low hanging tree branch may be enough to do some damage to the expensive cameras on top. :)

It also explains why the new tunnel on the A86 West isn't covered yet.

who is driving those cars? how could one apply for that? i've been searching the net, but i haven't found anything

Drivers are hired through Immersive Media. I found this article:

http://gizmodo.com/283287/immersive-media-hiring-camera-drivers-for-google-streetview

(Interestingly, in the requirements there's no word about a clean driving record - maybe that would conflict with the strong sense of urgency.) :lol:

Another quite big update, this time Finland and Norway were added, as well as new locations in already covered countries.

Arguably the world's best view from a freeway:
http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4122/cahill.jpg
Cahill Expressway, Sydney (built as a freeway)
Underneath the roadway, but elevated above ground, there's a railway station (the only elevated one in the city) which is part of the City Circle. Ever seen a double deck subway? That's what runs in Sydney.
At the end of the freeway, there's a tight 270 degree loop to climb to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Gosh, even Aland is covered. I can track my biking trip route there with Street View. How cool is that :D!

A funny picture from Bergen in Norway.
They sat in those suits for a hour waiting for the Google car to drive by. Apparently they knew the guy driving the car.

^^ No, I think those Google Streetview drivers just have to cover any road on a certain map, regardless if it is a dirt road or a major highway. Or more conjecture; this guy just went for a 10-100.

They even drive down private roads and past no trespassing signs :lol:

One of my favourite images from Wales:

not in Google streetview, but Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Hungary are covered by NORC.hu (and mappi.ru), so check it out, i don't know how to take a screenshot of that
