A new batch of Google Street View imagery has been released, and it's a significant one. Rather than hit a few more American towns, Street View's documented sights in two countries - Canada and the Czech Republic - for the first time.
Let's start with the Czech Republic, where coverage is a bit more limited in terms of total footage captured. Indeed, most of the imagery is focused on Prague and a handful of nearby, smaller towns. Then, perhaps one or two Street View drivers headed southeast and spent a little time driving around Brno.
It's important to keep in mind that the Czech Republic isn't a huge nation, however, so this still counts as a significant glance at the country.
Then there's the Canadian coverage. Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, Toronto, and Vancouver were all photographed, which means serious Street View fans have lots of opportunities for exploration ahead of them. Although if you drag Pegman around, you'll see that Canada, which is so huge, remains far from crisscrossed with blue Street View lines.
Anyway, the Street View privacy software appears to be working full force to protect license plates and people's faces in Canada and the Czech Republic. As you may have noticed in our screenshot, it's gone the extra mile and made a statue of Sir Galahad anonymous, too.
