Update Google Street view in Germany

More or less as the title says I would like to see newer material of street view or even new areas. Why is there no official communication why that is not happening?

I saw some cars, but why is Google not updating the existing streets?

Effectivement j’ai aussi remarquĂ© cela

J’ai essayĂ© plusieurs fois de corriger mais le systĂšme ne l’accepte pas tout simplement

In the spring and summer of 2018, the streetview cars covered large parts of Germany, but none of that material is being published, it seems. Probably this is once again linked to the ‘Datenschutz’

There is information on this on the street view web page:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/streetview/explore/#sv-headed

The information there is quite clear, they do not add the taken pictures to street view, the material is only used for google maps, as can be read there “Wir wissen, dass das Interesse an unseren Kamera-Autos groß ist. Es sind dieselben Autos, welche wir in der Vergangenheit genutzt haben, um Bilder fĂŒr Street View aufzunehmen. Bei den kommenden Fahrten nutzen wir das Bildmaterial aber nur, um Google Maps zu verbessern und haben keine PlĂ€ne, dieses zu veröffentlichen.”, the English version does not contain this sentence.
No interest in protests and discussions as there were in the past.

Hello @rekire ,

Thank you for your contribution.

As mentioned above by @Florian you can check where the car is currently located and where the shooting is scheduled here. As you can see there, the team is going to work on the listed regions till November 2019.

Also, please note that I am going to move your post to the How-tos section of Connect, since what you’ve posted is not an idea.
