Street View: expanding our horizons

Posted on 13:27 by Unknown
Posted by Bradley Bossard, Software Engineer

Just over a month ago, we brought you a dozen new cities in Street View, and now I'm excited to say we're topping that. We've added imagery for 13 new metropolitan areas - and a national park! We have expanded our coverage in 6 of our existing cities. Among the new areas are:
  • Albuquerque, NM
  • Anchorage, AK
  • Austin, TX
  • Cleveland, OH
  • Fairbanks, AK
  • Little Rock, AR
  • Madison, WI
  • Nashville, TN
  • Rockford, IL
  • Richmond, VA
  • Spokane, WA
  • St. Petersburg, FL
  • Tampa, FL
  • Yosemite National Park, CA
Now you can visit landmarks like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH:

And did you know that there's a full-scale replica of the Parthenon in Nashville?

Taking a look at the famous El Capitan in Yosemite National Park can inspire (or intimidate!) you as you prepare for a hike:

In addition to these 14 new areas, we've expanded our coverage in Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Now you can visit the majestic Redwoods — try panning up to get the full effect:

Remember, Street View images like the ones above can easily be embedded in websites and blogs, so go ahead and share your favorites. And for the developers out there, Street View is now a part of the Google Maps API!
