Huge Street View update

[sladys]

Whistler Olympic area has an update too. The Pegman is a ski jumper.

Just as an FYI, the UK coverage has been greatly expanded today.

Hong Kong was added to Street View.

Also, coverage in The Netherlands and Japan were both increased.

I'm betting there are other updates, but they're harder to spot.

[sladys]

Macau has been added too.

Northern Ireland has since filled in HUGELY while I've been looking at the UK. Also, most of the smaller islands such as Wight in the south on up to Man, Skye, Islay, and even up to the Outer Hebrides and up to the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands

Now it would be nice if Mickey could let uploaders enter the names where finds are located. Else it's going to be a mess. Untill then All we mods should correct our own and other members finds and upload new cities.

I've heard rumors that we just got another StreetView update, but I don't know where it is yet...

[Munden]

I was hitting HUGE lag in Street View and wondered. It was about time.

Mexico got a big update.

Looking for more.

[Munden]

It's looking like the Mexico update is all there is. If there are any other updates, they're small or are updates to previous imagery. I don't even see some of the poor resolution imagery that's been updated to high resolution either.

I've been gone for awhile now. Is the Sado Island imagery from this update or older? There's no files in our directory there.

It appears some theme parks are new:

South Africa was just activated. I'm not seeing any other big updates, but they might have slipped in a few more parks and other trike locations.

In South Africa, Pegman is blowing a vuvuzela. BTW, Brazilian press said Brazil was available in iPhones for 2 days, so Brazil (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte) might be coming soon.

[Mickey]

Great info, thanks! Let us know if you spot anything in Brazil.

My guess is that Google is waiting till the end of the World Cup to release the imagery. A Google official here said they want to focus on cities that will host matches on the next WC. So after SP, RJ and BH, maybe we will have Brasília, Porto Alegre, Manaus, Curitiba, Salvador, Recife, Natal, Cuiabá and Fortaleza.

Great news: Streetview in Brazil will be released September 30th!!!
