In the past two weeks Google updated the list twice, adding countries for this year. It seems that Friday is the new day of the week for list updates (previously it was Monday before being a bit random).

While many countries are back this year, a lot of them still don’t have their 2021 update published despite of the pictures being ready (as shown by some new pictures unintendedly published near borders). Because of this it is impossible to know if Google will publish the new pictures at some point. The most interesting changes are Norway being back and South Africa being extended.
Finally Google updated the picture of the car on the official website. It now only has a basic sticker with the Pegman, the service name and a link. Is the current design going to be replaced by a more simpler – and probably cheaper – look? For now spotted cars still have the complete gen 4 design.
That’s it for this update. Thank you for reading and see you next time!
