Street View has been been given its biggest ever refresh, updating 250,000 miles of road and doubling the number of special collections so you can sneak inside famous locations around the world.


There's now wider Street View coverage over the US, Canada and the UK, as well as plenty of other countries. So, if you weren't included before, go check out whether your street is now included.

Perhaps most exciting, though, is the inclusion of all manner of historical and cultural attractions across the globe: from Catherine Palace in Russia, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taiwan, to Stanley Park in Vancouver. Go explore. [Google via Engadget]
