Only a handful of roads have it and Richland is the only one on the Ohio campus. It might be the only place in the country left without streetview. I can see tiny little towns in the New Mexico desert but I can't see Ohio University. What gives?

I would guess it will eventually cover all of Athens, but Athens County is not on their current schedule. https://support.google.com/maps/answer/68384?hl=en Back to Top DelBobcat General User Member Since: 8/26/2010 Location: Cincinnati, OH Post Count: 1,135 Status: Offline     RE: Streetview    Posted: 8/27/2015 1:45:22 PM  Recovering Journalist wrote: They've only done main roads in Athens for whatever reason, and they no longer take requests for updates.

Such a bummer they didn't get any of the university when they did Athens the first time.

Athens proper isn't exactly Times Square but it also is a bit more established than some places. I would imagine there are many alums who would LOVE this feature. I've seen crazier things happen.

Funny thing is, I thought I was the only person who tried using Google Maps' Streetview on Athens! Guess not.

The same way your car operates: an internal combustion engine :) In seriousness though, Google pays people to drive around with cameras mounted on top of the car. The cameras take photos that overlap slightly so they can be stitched together into a 360 degree view. Every few years they repeat the process to update the imagery.
