Google launched its biggest update of Street View


The maps of Google have received much attention in recent weeks, mainly due to the fiasco of the maps of Apple and its many errors and problems. However, the Mountain View giant sought to draw attention to its mapping service on its own merits and today launched what it called "the largest update of Street View ". According described the product manager for Google Ulf Spitzer, developments include improving 400,000 miles of Street View images and increased coverage in Macao, Singapore, Sweden, the United States, Thailand, Taiwan, Italy, Britain, Denmark, Norway and Canada. Among the new places that users can go to Street View, is the Catherine Palace in Russia and Fort Canning Park in Singapore. In addition, Google added new special collections (collections of images from across the globe to navigate Street View) of South Africa, Japan, Spain, France, Brazil and Mexico, among others. In late September, Google had launched its collection of images of the seabed. Another of the novelties in the coverage of Street View is inside Kronborg Castle in Denmark, which was immortalized in the works of William Shakespeare's Hamlet as the castle of Elsinore, where the unfortunate prince must face the secret of the murder of his father part of his uncle.
