Google now has street-level mapping capabilities for Andorra, Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar,
Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia (Moscow only), San
Marino, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey (Istanbul only), the United
Kingdom, and the United States. Although no separate websites exist for most of
these country map sites, I expect they will eventually.
At present, Google has map websites for these countries:
~ UK & Ireland - http://maps.google.co.uk/
~ Canada - http://maps.google.ca/
~ Australia (includes New Zealand) - http://maps.google.com.au/
~ China - http://bendi.google.com/
~ Germany - http://maps.google.de/
~ Spain - http://maps.google.es/
~ France - http://maps.google.fr/
~ Italy - http://maps.google.itl
~ The Netherlands - http://maps.google.nl/
~ Japan - http://local.google.co.jp/
Google began offering local search and maps specifically for Japan during 2005.
Both sites are in Japanese. However, Google maps Japan, which offers both streetlevel
and satellite images for some of Japan, recognizes input in romeji (Latinized
spellings of Japanese words). Here is a search on [Tokyo] showing the results in
Google maps satellite images.
