Google Maps: more 360º photos on-line

The drivers of Google’s “Street-View-Cars“ have been very busy and have added a further 13 USA cities and a National Park to the offering, using their special cameras.

googlestreetview.jpgGoogle programmer Bradley Bossard described the new developments in Google’s Lat Long Blog.  Among the cities in question are Albuquerque, Austin, Cleveland, Nashville and Fairbanks, as well as the Yosemite National Park.

In addition to the new 14 areas, Bossard also announced additional coverage of the outskirts of several cities already in the program, including Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.  One can even marvel at the splendor of the Redwoods near San Francisco.

All in all there are now over 40 metropolitan areas and places being covered using Google’s panoramic “Street View” offering. In the German-version, the feature is called “Straßenansicht” (similar translation) but as of yet, no German cities have been posted on-line.

Street View is a part of the Google Maps API (Application Programming Interface) and thus is possible to be embedded in websites in 3rd party web-presences. James McGill of the Google Maps API Team announced this feature in a recent post in the official Google Maps API Blog.
