Google is preparing to show updated Street View imagery in nearly 80 countries. In a now-deleted blog post edgeGoogle announced that the new images will soon be available in Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Japan, Philippines, Rwanda, Serbia, South Africa and other countries.
Google is also bringing Street View to countries where Street View has never been available, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Liechtenstein and Paraguay. The company said its more portable Street View cameras, launching in 2022, will help provide images of “more places in the future.”
Satellite imagery from Google Maps and Google Earth has also become clearer, thanks to the company’s cloud removal artificial intelligence tools, which can remove clouds, shadows, haze and haze. Google says this should result in “brighter, more vivid” images.
Additionally, you’ll soon be able to view historical imagery on the Google Earth web and mobile apps, a feature previously only available through the Google Earth Pro desktop app. This will make it easier to compare satellite and aerial imagery of a location over the years.
As someone who loves checking out new places in Street View, I’m excited to explore the streets and landscapes of Bosnia and Namibia whenever Google decides to roll out this update. edge Contacted Google to find out why it removed the blog post, but did not receive an immediate response.
