Google Car Spotting
Last week Google Street View cameras were reported 30 times by people from 11 different countries.
As we are now entering the second half of March, Google resumed the drive in many countries, notably in Europe from the Baltics to Greece. A Dutch truck loaded with cars for Romania was seen around Vienna and later seen in Bucharest. This is not uncommon to have cars moved between countries like this as many European countries are visited by cars from other countries, mostly with Dutch and German cars.
In Bangladesh the cars started to drive in the Barishal division, which seems to be the next step after Khulna.
Cars are still running in Israel with another spotting done in Tel-Aviv again. Since all the pictures of the cars were taken in Tel-Aviv district (except one in Jerusalem), it is still unknown if Google drove in more districts though some people said they saw the car outside of those two cities (without any visual proof).
In Rwanda the pickup with the Trekker was spotted again in Kigali. For now all the spotting were made in the capital and it is unknown if they drove outside of it. Since it has been around 7 months of driving in Rwanda it may be a possibility as it is a lot of time for one city, however it can only be speculation. Bad weather can happen a lot during winter and it is possible they couldn’t drive a lot in the past months.
One car was also spotted in Turkey and Colombia, confirming they still drive in those countries.
