Google Expands Street View and Enhances Satellite Imagery in Major Global Update

Google is rolling out updated Street View imagery across nearly 80 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Japan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Serbia, and South Africa. This update will also introduce Street View to several countries for the first time, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Liechtenstein, and Paraguay.

The tech giant credits its portable Street View camera, launched in 2022, for expanding coverage and enabling the capture of more locations. Google noted that this technology will allow for even greater geographical reach in the future.

In addition to the Street View updates, Google Maps and Google Earth will now feature sharper satellite imagery. This improvement is made possible by Google’s cloud-removal AI tool, which eliminates clouds, shadows, haze, and mist from satellite photos, resulting in clearer, brighter, and more vibrant images.

Moreover, Google Earth will soon allow users to access historical imagery through its web and mobile apps, a feature that was previously limited to the desktop version, Google Earth Pro. This update will make it easier to view and compare satellite and aerial images of various locations over time.
