The fresh start was timed to coincide with Street View's 10-year anniversary, Google said in a statement.Ĭars equipped with special cameras will tour Vienna, Linz and Graz until November. The company admitted that vehicles had accidentally recorded personal data from wireless networks.Īlthough Austria lifted its temporary ban a year later, Street View decided not return to the alpine nation-until now. In 2010, Google had begun to roll out its service in Austria and neighbouring Germany but was ordered to halt operations over alleged privacy breaches. Some countries have been reluctant to grant Google access because of worries linked to data collection.
The photos are processed in the United States, where details such as faces and registration plates are automatically blurred before being published on Google Maps. This is sometimes done in emergency situations - such as when an area has been hit by a natural disaster and new images would be of valuable assistance to the recovery and relief efforts.The project, launched in 2007, lets computer users view panoramic street scenes on Google Maps and take a virtual "walk" through cities. However, Google and its image providers do have the ability to rapidly integrate new images into the program. The images are acquired by satellites, processed by commercial image providers or government agencies, and then updated to the Google Earth image database in batches. Large cities generally have more recent and higher resolution images than sparsely inhabited areas.Ī misconception exists among some people that the images displayed in the Google Earth program are live-updated directly from satellites. Most of the images in Google Earth were acquired within the past three years, and Google is continuously updating the image set for different parts of the Earth. Hope you enjoy!
