 Google Street Views goes Nationwide Google has increased availability of its Street View service in Google Maps, by adding new imagery covering almost all of the UK's roads, both rural and urban. Now you can view the whole of Wales in minute detail - some might say too much detail! Google first launched imagery for 25 cities in the UK in March 2009 and since doing so has continued to process and stitch together more imagery collected by its cars. Street View has already proved popular across the UK, with more than a 30% sustained increase in Google Maps usage since launch.
Today, new findings from YouGov reveal how people use it in their daily lives. It shows almost two thirds (60%) of people who have used Street View have done so to find out where they're going and get directions; one third (33%) have used it to look at places in other countries and one in five (21%) have already used it for house-hunting, despite up until now only being available in 25 UK cities [source: YouGov plc, February 2010].
Google Maps is one of many tools which can be used in enhancing a business website, some of these tools are discussed in our Search Engine training course. |

Preventing data loss is as much about how you manage people as it is about setting up the right policies. It's every managers nightmare: critical business data lost, stolen or maliciously exposed to a major breach of security systems or policy.
