Google Lat Long Blog: Street View comes to 20 German cities

Two weeks ago, we celebrated with the people of Oberstaufen when we made available the first ever images for Street View in Germany. Today I’m pleased to let you know that you can explore even more of Germany because we’ve just released 360-degree, street level imagery of Germany’s 20 largest cities, including Berlin, Hamburg, my home town of Munich and more.

StreetView On iOS Pierces German Privacy Veil

Discussed over the weekend on Slashdot, a story named "StreetView On iOS Pierces German Privacy Veil".

Their summary: "After some prickly negotiations with the German government's privacy regulators, Google got permission to launch its Street View service for German addresses, so long as people had the right to opt out and choose to have only a blurred version of their homes on the service. But it turns out that iPhone and iPad users can see those buildings after all."

My guess is that it's just a matter of time that all Google StreetView services are synchronized.
