New StreetView imagery in Singapore, Canada and others
Today has seen another large release of StreetView imagery from Google. The updated areas include:
Singapore: For the first time, Singapore has StreetView imagery. Quite a large portion of the nation has been added.
Canada: StreetView arrived in Canada a few months ago, but today that coverage has been greatly expanded. They've added Edmonton, Hamilton, London, Saskatoon, St. John's, Sudbury, Winnipeg and Victoria.
France and Japan: Various areas.
Special Locations: The first release of imagery taken by the StreetView trikes have appeared in places like Sea World San Diego, Sea World Orlando, Sea World San Antonio, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Hersheypark (Pennsylvania) and Boston University (which is already featured in high-quality 3D).
Also covered by the trike are Pompei, the Palace of Versailles, Millennium Stadium, Angel of the North, Eden Project, Warwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle and Stonehenge.
The Google LatLong Blog and Google Maps Mania have additional coverage and photos of the updated areas.

I still think "google Space" would be the ultimate product. Just think if you could zoom around in the milky way, and visit moons and planets and comets. Why isn't google sending satellites into the universe, like the Voyager? Street view? I'm talkin storm dust view. I'm talkin the big hole on jupiter view.

A large expansion around the cities of Rome and Naples. Also, the French Riviera including small part of Monaco.

There's also streetview imagery in a small portion of the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of Italy, next to the Austrian and Swiss border.
