Welcoming Belgium to Street View


Grand Place, Brussels

The whole of Belgium now has Google Maps Street View imagery!

Yesterday Google also added Street View imagery for two new ski resorts. The world famous Squaw Valley, in northern California and Breckenridge Ski Resort are the latest ski resorts to have been visited by the Street View ski mobile.

Shhh. ...Street View Arrives in Belgium


There seems to be a little error in Google Maps that shows two Street View images in one street in Belgium.

This means that a few houses in Strijphout Straat in Genk are lucky enough to have their homes featured on Google Maps. The rest of Belgium will just have to wait for the official release of Street View in their country. The fact that Google already seems to have gathered the imagery means that they probably won't have to wait too long.

Back in July of last year Google made a similar error in the Street View imagery for the town of Rijssen in the Netherlands. Instead of showing the Dutch town some of the imagery actually showed the German town of Marl. That error also displayed some Street View in a country before the official release.
