InOceania,Google Street View is available in most parts ofAustralia andNew Zealand.
On 4 August 2008, the long-anticipated image collection of Australia was introduced. At this time, 18 camera icons were added. Extensive mapping ofNew Zealand was included on 1 December 2008. On 9 December 2008,Darwin, Australia, and other locations were included. On 30 October 2009, Google Australia announced that they would be sending its fleet of cars back on the road from November 2009 to update Street View Australia with new images.
In June 2010, Google Street View ceased operations in Australia after its Street View cars were found to have been collecting Wi-Fi data from home Wi-Fi networks.[1] In May 2011, Google Australia stated that they had removed all the Wi-Fi sniffing equipment and that they planned to shoot Australian roads again, but did not provide a specific timetable.[2] Driving did not recommence in Australia until 2013. On 27 July 2011, major urban and regional centres of Australia were updated with the newHD imagery.
In February 2015 another update of Australia with HD imagery was released, as part of the first update inNorthern Territory after the low-resolution imagery. It also affected parts ofWestern Australia andQueensland. However, some places still have only low-resolution imagery or don't even have Street View coverage at all. As of July 2024, the updates of Australia footage are ongoing, with most areas now having high-quality, recent imagery.
