Nearly two years after Google took to the streets in order to photograph public roads across Australia, the company is now set to take the journey again and update its Street View feature.
“Starting from [this month] in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth and parts of Tasmania, we’ll be doing our best to cover as many of Australia’s public roads as we can during this summer,” Google wrote on its official blog.
The company said it is updating the feature to ensure its images are up-to-date, and also said its images would be “crisper than before”.
Additionally, Google will continue to provide individuals an opportunity to blur themselves from photographs if they wish. It will also update its license-plate blurring technology, it said.
Street View is now available in over 100 cities across the world, with new locations constantly added.
