Google has stopped taking photos for Street View in Germany

Articles Bing Streetside by StreetViewFun.com · Reply

Google has announced that they will not add any more cities than the 20 currently available on Street View in Germany. This comes as a surprise to many as Google recently won a legal battle in Germany for it’s Street View service. Competitor Microsoft Bing Maps is now starting to take photos for it’s Streetside in Germany. And is already getting complaints from germans.

I’m guessing Google will let Microsoft take some of the privacy complaints for a while in Germany. And then be back in a few years time?

Charges were changed to trespassing. The judge found that Google was guilty of Count II trespass after Google and the Boring couple agreed to a settlement.

So, how much money did the Boring couple get from this settlement? The total amount they got from the settlement was… wait for it… one dollar!

Here’s a suggestion on where the Boring couple should move.
