A Google Street View car has been spotted cruising through Devon and East Sussex, leaving locals wondering whether the tech giant is updating its mapping service with fresh imagery.
The distinctive vehicle, equipped with a 360-degree camera, was seen near Brighton and even made an unexpected appearance at Thorpe Park. While Google has not officially confirmed any updates, sightings like these often precede new Street View releases.
Why Is Google Mapping These Areas?
Devon and East Sussex are known for their picturesque landscapes and bustling towns, making them prime candidates for updated Street View imagery. Brighton, in particular, is a hotspot for tourism, so keeping its digital representation current is essential.
Thorpe Park Surprise
The sighting at Thorpe Park was especially unusual, as theme parks are not typically a priority for Street View updates. Could this hint at a new virtual tour feature for attractions?
Google has been expanding its Street View coverage in recent years, including indoor locations and even underwater scenes. Whether this sighting leads to a broader update remains to be seen.
For now, locals and tech enthusiasts will be keeping an eye out for the next appearance of the iconic camera car.
