islandhopper Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 OT ... just to keep you informed: Google and the German government signed an agreement today: a) Google will switch on street view only after ALL protests (private und public) are cleared. Google will install a simplyfied clearing routine where individuals und city councils can ask for deletion of certain photos which match with given addresses two months PRIOR to the launch of street view. c) Google agreed to delete all protested images within 48 hrs for the time after the start of street view. In the end Google accepted that they acted illegally at least in two aspects: i) You are entitled to photograph nearly everything except a few military installations within the FRG as long as you don't use any auxiliary equipment - the camera position 3m above ground is regarded as "with auxiliary equipment" ... like climbing a ladder ... everything that is visible in the images but would not be visible in case the camera would have been on a lower level is thus automatically illegal and must be removed without giving any further reasons. ii) Google had scanned the whole private wifi networks along with the images and had planned to publish that informaation along with the street view images without prior notice. That was regarded as being illegal, too. There is no final decision what will happen with this material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PJS1979 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) How often do they update street view ? Edited June 4, 2018 by PJS1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D'oh Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 How often do they update street view ? Google does not give out this information. However, there seems to be a rough 5 years interval (in Shetland the first version went online in 2011 and was updated in 2015. I have observed pictures in Switzerland from 2013 being updated this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PJS1979 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 So were a couple of year away from a full update, i guess there are a lot of changes happening with new building works around Shetland so they might bring it forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I'm pretty sure some side roads are still on the 2009 version for us, it seemed to only be main roads and the more built up spots that got the update. Or that's how it was for a while anyway, not paid much attention lately, so possibly more has now been added. Anybody up for doing a mass mooning session for them next they're here?
