Continuous Updates

Last week updates were found in 27 countries. It was a calm week with mostly regular updates and minor additions.

The only country with major additions was Turkey, where the first coverage ever was published in the two remaining provinces that had no Street View yet: Hakkâri and Şırnak. Those provinces are located in the southeast and the new imagery can be quite close to Iran, Iraq and Syria. More additions happened in other parts of the country:

Google Car Spotting

Last week Google Street View cameras were reported 53 times by people from 20 different countries.

In Panama the first official Google Street View camera has been found: a Trekker installed on a pickup. This picture shows the vehicle driving in the west part of Panama City. This is the same setup that is used in Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda or Senegal, meaning the pickup may stay largely visible if incorrectly blurred.

In Argentina an event was held in the province of Chubut, in the south. This event was organized by Google Argentina and involved a Street View car and a Trekker. This car may drive more to the south including the Tierra del Fuego province as the summer season is starting there.

The pickup in Rwanda was also spotted again in Kigali, showing they still drive in Rwanda.
