Goseong

Under #220 at Coverage of Google Street View#2017, please disambiguate Goseong to Goseong County, Gangwon. (The map in the source cited shows that Goseong County, South Gyeongsang isn't covered.) Thanks, 59.149.124.29 (talk) 03:24, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Coverage level

Hi all, I fear this may be opening a can of worms, but how are the coverage levels ("mostly full coverage" etc) in the article defined and is there a source for these levels? I don't see a cite for these, and looking at the archive this seems something discussed rather than cited. Without a source, these categories seem to be original research to me.

2018

So, does anyone know if there is anything new for 2018 yet? 86.125.62.44 (talk) 09:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Releases 232, 233, 234 and 235

  • Release 231 took place on March 6 and added 11 disney parks
  • Release 232 took place on April 9 and added off-road views in Gold Coast, Australia
  • Release 233 took place on April 18 and added Christmas and Cocos islands
  • Release 234 took place yesterday (April 19) and added 7 more canadian parks
  • Release 235 took place today (April 20) and added Jordan and updated street images

CreatorWiki (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

For the time being April was the month with the most versions in the year 2018, although in the first three months only had a monthly version, probably in the future version Release 235 Google expands coverage or updates street images. According to social networks, the new generation cameras have been spotted in the US, UK, Japan and Singapore. These cameras may be in other countries too but we do not know which countries. CreatorWiki (talk) 18:51, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Update: Christmas and Cocos Islands are now accessible directly from Google Maps. CreatorWiki (talk) 17:34, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Removed coverage

Noticed that Ceuta, Melilla (Spanish enclaves in northern Africa) were removed after Jordan was added on SV. Also everything that was added in West Bank, Palestine, on Release 228 (Saturday, December 16, 2017) is now removed. May edit the page according to this sad news. I see it's already done for the Spanish enclaves in the addition list.

Similar thing that happened long time ago is the full removal of Longyearbyen coverage in Svalbard. Was added on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 (Release 67).

Google keeps randomly removing coverage, mostly tiny bits without any logical reason (even privacy isn't justifying this as it can be a small part of a mountain road in the middle of nowhere) and I can't find why this is happening. Last impacted place was Nuuk, Greenland, losing many bits of its streets. That's annoying as it breaks the link between the different blue lines. If someone finds something about this... that would be nice to share!

KillerMapper (talk) 22:18, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: US Virgin Islands also lost their coverage from Release 228. It's like Google decided to remove everything added on a certain period of time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB04:623:7C00:68F2:6EB5:C8B:7E4F (talk) 16:53, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

UPDATE: Everything seems to be back now. Palestine, Ceuta, Melilla and US Virgins are now accessible like before. KillerMapper (talk) 17:36, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

I see the page doesn’t mention the boys of North Cyprus added in April. Anything else missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.232.3 (talk) 16:18, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

@82.132.232.3 This coverage is not made by Google so it's not official. If I understand correctly, only official additions made by Google are listed here. Otherwise we would also add the coverage made in western Austria, Oman, Tonga etc. KillerMapper (talk) 17:33, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Date of most recent imagery

I replaced the "Date of newest additions" column with "Date of most recent imagery", I still cleaned all column data for editors to see the dates of the latest images and re-fill the column with dates. CreatorWiki (talk) 23:10, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Street View Graz, Austria

I been on Google Street View maps in the "understand" section where I've discovered more roads in Graz have more street view. I have also been on instantstreetview.com I can actually use my finger and touch any road that's highlighted in blue to bring some roads in street view. Previously there were just a few roads that were predestrianised, but there a few more roads that are actually are roads. Unfortunenatelly I don't have a reliable source as I still don't know my ins and outs around Wikipedia yet. But still good to know that Graz has finally has a few roads now online. Sorry if my spelling isn't very good. 

DoctorStrange97 (talk) 17:52, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

This coverage is not made by Google but by an external party. This is similar to the unofficial coverage in western Austria and many other places around the World. You can tell it's not made by Google by looking at the name on the top left corner of your screen. Also the picture quality is lower than Google's data and you can notice you'll travel slower on unofficial coverage (photospheres are usually slower to load).

Northern Territory National Parks

Street View added yesterday the national parks of the Northern Territory in Australia. 177.143.135.169 (talk) 15:01, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Disputed statement

In the 'Coverage by country or territory' table, the statement:

First West Asian country available, along with Israel.

has an accuracy warning. The {{Disputed inline}} tag near this statement has been remaining intact since late-2016, as the dispute was not yet resolved. I have a question, though. Was this tag added by a vandal? I feel like the addition was made as a mistake. And here's a big difference. The statement,

First West Asian country available, along with Palestine.

has no accuracy warning at all. So, I'm seeing that the first statement appears to be already resolved, not because there is something wrong with it. Could it have recently been dealt with? 2600:1700:A2A0:FB50:9112:9678:8358:6295 (talk) 23:07, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Portugal is included in update images on October 5 2018.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Are you saying that Portugal is included and shouldn't be or that Portugal should be included and isn't? Please clarify by mentioning the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and by providing a reliable source if appropriate.  Spintendo  18:55, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Why is the view in Curaçao, Vietnam, Bahrain, Tonga, Armenia and Myanmar seen as vandalism?

I really don't understand. There is street view coverage of the public streets in Myanmar, Curaçao, Vietnam, Tonga, Bahrain and Myanmar but nobody adds them and if I add them people mark them as vandalism. I am not stupid, I already added the link towards the street view coverage and still the edits don't get accepted. Sadiemydog1 (talk) 09:28, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

There is not vandalism. We are adding on the list only street view panoramas made by Google team with Google Cameras. What anything else you don't understand? -EugεnS¡m¡on 09:39, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Gambia, Malawi and Rwanda now with business views, please update current coverage table. 177.143.135.28 (talk) 15:36, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Recent changes to Streetview

Google added a new place in Paris (France), which is the Forum des Halles. It was added between January and February as I checked this place in January for myself and tried to look at the interior using the few photospheres, since the official coverage wasn't here yet. Not sure this is big enough to be added on the list though, but maybe more places were added along this one.

Another changed that happened today or yesterday: photospheres are more likely to be displayed as blue lines now. This means many of business coverages that consisted of photospheres close together are now blue lines, and the Streetview layer all over the World looks way more complete now (but it's not). Look at Germany, you would think Google added new coverage but it's not true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.63.245.105 (talk) 15:22, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Edit: those changes were reverted a day later. Bug? Mistake? Test? We'll probably never know. KillerMapper (talk) 00:06, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
