Today ,Google launched Street view on Google Maps in New Zealand. The free software lets internet users walk down city streets and view the scene from any angle on their computer screen.
The imagery was collected by a team of Googlers who travelled all over Ne Zealand to document every single public road in the country over the past year. The team drove Holden Astras, which had camera mounted on a pole on the roof.
According to Google New Zealand product manager Andrew Foster, Google had consulted the Privacy COmmission and offered to blur people's faces and car's plate numbers.
