Google is testing a smaller, modular Street View camera system
Street View for Google Maps launched 15 years ago this week, and Google is taking advantage of the anniversary to, including a major update to the Street View mapping hardware. The one most people can immediately enjoy, though, is the ability to “go back in time” on Street View using Google Maps for Android or iOS. This feature has been available on the web for a while now, but it’s being added to the Maps app for the first time.
For those interested in the hardware Google uses to get Street View data, the company is announcing a big update to its camera system. Google says that the new camera has all the resolution and processing capabilities that are in the full Street View car, but it’s a 15-pound device that is “roughly the size of a house cat.” The company hopes this will make it easier to get data from under-mapped areas of the world; one example of such a place Google gave was the Amazon jungle.
