What street view services does VirtualStreets.org cover?

VirtualStreets.org covers Google Street View, Apple Look Around, and Yandex Panorama, based on the articles listed on its homepage. Coverage is organized as news and update posts rather than as a single reference page, so the mix of services you see depends on what has been published recently. The site describes itself as being about "Google Street View and more," and the visible article list confirms that the "more" includes Apple's and Yandex's street-level imagery.

Google Street View

Google Street View is the most frequently covered service in the visible article list. Posts fall into a few recognizable types:

• Monthly roundups — recurring "Last Month on Google Street View" articles, such as the September 2026 and August 2026 editions, which summarize notable expansions.
• New country and region launches — for example, "Google launches Street View in Kosovo," described as the last region of the Balkans to be added to the service.
• Mapping campaigns and vehicles — for example, "Google Street View Vehicles Hit the Roads of Jamaica for Major Mapping Campaign," covering a new Caribbean country being photographed.
• Forward-looking coverage — for example, "What's next for Europe? Google Street View and Apple Look Around are on the way," which covers both services together.

The monthly roundups are the most efficient way to track Google coverage, since they aggregate expansions that would otherwise be spread across many separate posts. The September 2026 roundup, for instance, highlights expansions in the Caucasus and mentions a possible new country.

Apple Look Around

Apple Look Around is covered as its own category, with a focus on where the service has launched or expanded:

• New country releases — "Apple Look Around Finally Releases in Thailand," noted as the second ASEAN country added to the service.
• Multi-country expansions — "Apple Look Around arrives in the Baltic States and more parts of Europe," covering Tallinn, Vilnius, and Riga.
• Sub-national expansions — "Apple Look Around Expands to More Regions in the United States," covering road network integration in Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

If you are tracking Apple's coverage specifically, the category label "Apple Maps" on these posts is the signal to look for, since Look Around articles are filed under it.

Yandex Panorama

Yandex Panorama appears less often in the visible list but is covered directly. The example post, "Yandex Panorama and its expansion into Central Asia," reports that three new Uzbek cities will be added in the next update. This suggests the site treats Yandex as a third service worth following, particularly for regions where it competes with or complements Google and Apple coverage.

How the coverage is structured

Posts also carry tags such as "Articles," "Facts," "Updates," "Coverage Updates," "Mapping Services," and "Google Cars," which cut across services. A single post can appear under several of these, so browsing by tag is a way to find coverage of a specific topic — such as mapping vehicles — rather than a specific service.

What this means in practice

If you want to know whether a particular place has street-level imagery, the site is a news source, not a coverage checker. It reports launches and expansions as they are announced or observed, so absence of a post does not mean absence of coverage. The most reliable pattern is to check the most recent monthly roundup for Google, then scan the Apple Maps category for Look Around news, and treat Yandex posts as occasional regional updates. The homepage pagination (currently showing 17 pages of posts) indicates a long archive, so older launches are likely covered further back.
