In the Brazilian state of Amapá, a new road started to appear in the south: BR-156. Currently stopping to the town of Maracá, the new coverage may be extended up to Laranjal do Jari. Locals reportedly saw the car driving in this town, but no visual confirmation exists to validate this information.

Google Car Spotting

Last week Google Street View cameras were reported 18 times by people from 8 different countries.

In Bangladesh the cars were again spotted many times, showing they are still covering the divisions of Chattogram and Sylhet thoroughly.

In Qatar the pickup with the gen 4 Trekker was spotted near Doha, in the Al Rayyan municipality. This confirms the plans Google has, the goal being to cover the whole country until March 2023.
