Komodo Dragons in Street View

August 10, 2016

Google has just released Street View imagery of Komodo Island, Indonesia, as well as significantly increasing the coverage for the rest of Indonesia. There are also a number of new underwater Street View locations in the region, which you can read more about on Google’s Lat Long blog.


Red: New Street View. Blue: Previously existing Street View.

The blue outlines are not showing correctly in Google Earth, but the Street View is there if you know where to look. The blue does show when you zoom out almost to the point where the ‘yellow man’ disappears. To zoom in and out while holding the ‘yellow man’ above the map, use the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ keys on the keyboard. Because of this issue, the imagery is best explored with Google Maps.

The Street View camera was accompanied by guides with sticks to keep the dragons at bay. View in Google Maps.


This Javan deer is apparently not native to the island. View in Google Maps.
