Delay in launch of Google Street View for Isle of Man

Monday, 20 June 2011 08:11

Launch postponed due to technical problems

There has been a delay in launching Google Street View for the Isle of Man.

Google announced that it would go live last week but have since informed the Data Protection Supervisor that, due to technical problems, it has been postponed.

Street View was first launched in May 2007 and will allow users to view and navigate 360 degree street-level imagery for places across the Isle of Man.

Once a new date for launch has been confirmed this will be announced.

You can contact Google if you want to request the removal or blurring of any images.
