Google Street View Live Now in Israel




Google has started rolling out Street View in Israel, a couple of days before it was set to. Imagery is now live in several cities in Google Maps. Despite setbacks, Google has been expanding Street View to more places. It took longer to get Israel online as the approval process was a bit tougher than in other places.

Google got approval to shoot in the country last summer and the first imagery is now live online. Places like Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv and others can now be visited in Google Maps.

Google announced intentions to shoot in Israel early last year, and it was engaged in several months of negotiations to get to this point.

The company agreed to blur faces and number plates as well as remove images on request, but it does that everywhere anyway. However, it also agreed to enable people to have their houses blurred or removed from Street View.
