Google has recently announced updating its Street View app on Android, allowing users to collect and share Street View images on Google Maps. After users record images and publish them through the Street View app, Google automatically rotates, positions, and creates a series of connected photos. Moreover, they also place those connected images in the right place on Google Maps, enabling the new Street View to be found in the exact location where it was taken for others to see and explore. Although Google has its own Street View trekkers and cars which have collected over 170 billion images from 10 million miles around the planet, there are still many unmapped parts of the world. Furthermore, Google will show the primary Street View experience with a solid blue line. On the other hand, other people's contributed connected photos will appear in the Street View layer on Google Maps as dotted blue lines. As cited by Google, the Street View imagery can be used to update Google Maps with details, including the names and addresses of businesses that aren’t currently available on the map. Anyone can contribute to Google Maps and Street View, making Google Maps more accurate and up-to-date for all.
