HBD to us! Let’s celebrate with Street View adventures

Street View is turning 15, and the birthday nostalgia is hitting us hard.

In 2007, we published our first Street View images of San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Miami and Denver. Since then. Street View cars equipped with cameras have captured and shared more than 220 billion Street View images. And mapped 10 million miles the equivalent of circling the globe more than 400 times!. We’ve also captured Street View imagery inside cultural landmarks, high up in space and deep under the ocean.

To celebrate Street View’s 15th birthday, we’re sharing 15 amazing Street View collections including three places the world’s been loving lately. Four new collections (consider this our party favor to you), and Street View images that make us feel some kind of way. So raise your glasses er, cursors. And let’s cheers to exploring the world together.

Where you’ve been exploring and new places to go

With so many places and landmarks at your fingertips, three spots in particular piqued your interest over the past year. Here are the three most popular places to explore on Street View: head up to the 154th floor of the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates, which was named the world’s tallest building; the iconic Eiffel Tower in France,

complete with dazzling views of Paris from the top; and our special collection of imagery from the Taj Mahal in India.

We’re proud of the work we’ve done to capture so much of the world’s wonder, history and quirkiness in Street View. But we’d be remiss if we didn’t give a shout out to all of the Maps users around the world who have captured and shared their own Street View imagery. To help make exploring the world together even easier. We’re launching Street View Studio a new platform with all the tools you need to publish 360 image sequences quickly and in bulk. Check out more ways we’re advancing Street View so we can explore together for another 15 years.

Six Google Maps travel hacks to make this your best summer yet

Once you’ve decided on a place to go. Here are six ways you can use Google Maps to keep your summer vacation stress free:

  • Search for hotels right in Google Maps to see everything you need to know to decide where to stay. You’ll see photos. Descriptions. Reviews and more—and you can even book a room directly from Google Maps.
  • If you’re road tripping. Use Google Maps to find your nearest rest stop so you can rest. Eat. And refuel during a long drive.
  • Flying to a new city? Orient yourself around an airport with Google Maps. A quick search for an airport terminal. Say DTW Terminal 2, will show you the lay of the land, including nearby gates, lounges, restaurants and stores.
  • Taking local transit is a great way to instantly feel immersed in a new city. Use Google Maps to get navigation times. ETAs and a notification that tells you when to transfer or get off your bus or train. So you can stop worrying about missing your stop and start enjoying the sights.
  • If you’re traveling to a place where you don’t have Wi-Fi or a data plan, don’t panic. With Google Maps. You can download a region of the map to access it offline so you can still search for places. Get directions and use turn-by-turn navigation even without connectivity.
  • It can be easy to lose your bearings in a new place and spend hours (or what feels like hours!) of precious vacay time searching for where you parked your car. Save your parking location so you can spend less time wondering if your car is parked at D4 or E17.

Summer is here—use Google Maps to help you make the most of it. 🏖☀️
