Google Gives Street View A 250K-Mile Update Across 17+ Countries, Its Biggest Update Ever
Google is continuing to gain points on the mapping front, today launching yet more features for the product at a time when Apple's offering continues to appear weak by comparison. Today it announced that it has given Street View, which lets users see photographic images of particular locations, its biggest update yet, covering 250,000 miles of roads across more than 17 countries.The news follows an update from last Friday that saw Google update Google Maps for mobile browsers, giving iOS users a way of accessing maps on their iPhones and iPads while Google continues to work on a new, native app for that platform. Part of that update included the ability to use StreetView on iOS devices, and now that looks like it was laying the groundwork for today's news.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/hKnrKa84Y4g/
