Here's a nice bit of news for anyone either planning a vacation or, due to the economy, canceling all trips farther than 15 miles from your home: Street View spread again this morning. Imagery's now available for 25 cities in the UK and the Netherlands, and the service's coverage of France, Italy, and Spain has been expanded, too.
The UK move, in particular, is an important one for Google. Camera cars have been photographing the region for a long time, but local privacy advocates objected to the idea of technology that might wind up being a burglar's tool. The release of these images (with face- and license plate-blurring filters running full power, of course) seems to indicate that Google feels safe from lawsuits.
Big Ben, the spot at which the Beatles skipped across Cannes, the Zaragoza, too.
