Street View in Netherlands and UK
Posted by Jacque on March 19th, 2009
News is spreading quickly that Google Street View has been launched in the Netherlands and a number of sites in the U.K. Now there is 360º street level imagery for Amsterdam, London, Rotterdam, Manchester, Liverpool and several other cities in these countries — 25 cities in all! Listed below as of post time:
- England: Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Southampton, York
- Northern Ireland: Belfast
- Scotland: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow
- Wales: Cardiff, Swansea.
If you want to view street level imagery for all these new locations – go to Google Maps and drag the Pegman icon to one of the new cities in Europe.
The BBC claims that 22,369 miles of roads have been imaged in the UK alone, which has taken a year to complete. Interestingly, says Google Sightseeing Blog, Google appears to have begun to run camera cars in more rural locations, as well as countries that still have no coverage at all.
