InNorth America,Google Street View is available inCanada, theUnited States,Mexico,Guatemala, theDominican Republic,Greenland, and limited coverage in some more areas.
The United States was the first country to haveGoogle Street View images and was the only country with images for over a year following introduction of the service on May 25, 2007. Early on, most locations had a limited number of views, usually constrained to the city limits and only including major streets, and they only showed the buildings up to a certain height. Few suburbs or other nearby cities were included.
After the first few sets of introductions, image collections from cities added were more detailed, often including every side street, especially in areas closer to the center of the city. More suburbs and other nearby cities were included.
The coverage of various cities has in many cases, subsequently been enlarged and improved, but not necessarily on the same date as new cities have been added. Improvements have included the additions of streets in neighborhoods where previously only main roads had been covered, expansions to more suburbs, and views to the sky where previously only views to a certain height were provided.
Initially when a group of cities were added, only those cities and their own suburbs would be a part of the image collection. However June 10, 2008 introductions also included cities in covered areas without camera icons and isolated from any other camera icons. Many more cities were added without icons on August 4, when the only U.S. city added with an icon wasNew Orleans.
On November 9, 2009, parts ofHawaii were added, and coverage of the United States was also further expanded, although some key areas had yet to be added. With the addition of Hawaii, all fifty states are now represented in Street View.[1]
On July 2, 2013, high-definition images, at least 99% of which have been taken since early 2011, were added to major portions of all fifty states, including those that have had no HD images up to that point.
The last state or territory of the US to get coverage wasPuerto Rico on December 14, 2016.
Street View in Canada began on October 7, 2009. On this day, Street View was made available for several large Canadian cities, as well asBanff National Park andWhistler, British Columbia (one of the sites from the2010 Winter Olympics).[2] This was after long anticipation of the feature in the country. Street View cars had been spotted as early as 2007.[3]
On December 2, 2009, nine more Canadian cities were added, from east to westSt. John's,Sherbrooke,Sudbury,London,Winnipeg,Saskatoon,Edmonton andVictoria.[4]
On February 10, 2010, many more areas of Canada (barring extremely northern and rural areas) were added.[5] Of note, ski runs onWhistler Blackcomb Resort is also covered in this update.[5] As of 2013 the northernmost community imaged is the Arctic island community ofCambridge Bay,Nunavut. As of April 2014 the only Canadian urban areas whose images have not been uploaded are the urban areas within theLabrador region ofNewfoundland and Labrador.
On October 10, 2012, street view images in many parts ofCanada were updated and some new images of parks, trails, university campuses and zoos were added.[6]
On March 19, 2013, the Nunavut city ofIqaluit was imaged. Rather than shipping a car or using a trike the city will be imaged using backpack mounted cameras over a period of three days. One of the people involved, Chris Kalluk, was responsible for Google mapping Cambridge Bay, his home town.[7] Iqaluit officially appeared on Street View on July 9, 2013, coinciding withNunavut Day.[8] With the inclusion of Iqaluit all provincial/territorial capitals have been imaged and are available on Street View.
In 2013,Parks Canada began a 2-year collaboration with Google to provide street view images of the most iconic parks and heritage places in Canada.[9] In November 2013, the first set of images were released.[10]
In 2014, Street View imagery ofFort McMurray was uploaded. The northern Alberta city was the last remaining major Canadian urban area to be imaged. However, as of July 2015, Street View imagery has yet to be uploaded for any communities inLabrador.
In Mexico, the first reports of sightings came in fromTijuana in July 2007 making it the first city in Latin America and now Google Street View cars are being spotted in many Mexican states. On November 9, 2009, Street View was made available in cities of Mexico, includingMexico City,Guadalajara,Monterrey,Puebla,Cancún andPuerto Vallarta.[11]
On February 10, 2010, more places were added.
On April 15, 2010, more areas of Mexico were uploaded. Although complete coverage has not yet occurred (in some cities only main streets are imaged), numerous locations including communities inBaja California andCiudad Juárez now had extensive street-level coverage with this update.
