- GFischer 9y agoThe fact that Germany banned Street View contributes to it being less useful there, and I theorize that it might indirectly contribute to less data in Germany. Street View is so amazing, it's a huge game-changer from Google.
- JepZ 9y agoI didn't know that Street View was banned? Well, I noticed that there are probably no updates, but I always thought that Google quit taking photos because it caused so much trouble and negative publicity.
- GFischer 9y agoIt's not strictly banned, Google just decided to abandon Germany and Austria because they required permission on a household-per-household basis. They seem to be starting back. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Google-Street-View-not-in-Germany https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Google-Street-View-not-in-Germa...
