I had wondered how long it would be before it came here, but it looks like it’s now here. I don’t know exactly when it got here, but it’s here, and it covers a good chunk of the major highways around Central Oregon (it doesn’t appear that streets around the city of Bend have gotten much coverage).

But based on the little bit I’ve looked at, it was winter time when the camera came through as there is snow on the ground in some places.

Still… it’s cool though;-)
I checked the street view just two or three weeks ago, and it stopped on 26 and 97 up around Madras. They’ve add the views through Bend and southward just in the past few weeks.
A Street with a View 🙂

Google Expands Central Oregon’s Street View Coverage
I mentioned nearly a year ago how Central Oregon had a limited bit of coverage. Their coverage was primarily to major highways 97 and 20 through Central Oregon, but it…
