StreetView now available in Sweden
You can now view images from several cities in Sweden in a new similar service to Googles StreetView. Lokaldelen has created 360 degrees panorama images of a couple of cities. They have named this service Streetview. I’m not sure what Google will think of this…
Unfortunately only the main shopping streets are covered so far. I haven’t found a way to link directly to an image. This is the old town (Gamla Stan) in the capital Stockholm. Images are also available from the center of some other swedish cities like Halmstad, Helsingborg, Kalmar, Karlskrona, Lund, Malmö and Växjö.

Wunderwear shop in Copenhagen, Denmark
Denmark has a new service similar to StreetView, named Gadefoto (Street photo). It’s owned by De Gule Sider (Yellow Pages). You can for instance walk around the famous shopping street Ströget in the capital Copenhagen. So far it’s only available in three popular areas in central Copenhagen.
Unlike Googles StreetView, you can even walk into some of the stores. One of the shops you can walk into is Wunderwear, where they sell underwear. Another one is a restaurant named Portobello.
Unfortunately you can’t link directly to images you’ve found.

(We have no direct link since Norc require registration to get the link, but it’s in Warsaw, Poland on a street named Jana Pankiewicza)
I found this image on Norc. It is a company focusing on similar street view images as Google Maps streetview. So far they cover a lot of interesting cities in Romania, Russia, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Not to be picky, but it seems like something is just not right in this shot.

Norway gets street view images
A service just like Google Maps StreetView premiered in Norway this weekend. The name of the service is sesam.no Gatebilder. The images are for now only covering the capital of Norway, Oslo.
During summer 2008 sesam took 350.000 images using a black Volkswagen. Unlike Google Maps you can actually see the car on every panorama image if you move the camera. Very few people are visible since they deliberately choose Sunday mornings to take the panorama images. Faces are also censored.
The images are in higher quality than Google StreetView. It looks like it’s at least partly made by Mapjack. (Sesam also owns a similar search service with street view images in Sweden named hitta.se Gatubilder)
StreetView comes to Sweden!
Stadshuset in Stockholm, Sweden
A similar service to Googles StreetView has opened up in Stockholm, Sweden today named Hitta.se Gatubild (hitta means find). MapJack made the panorama images so I guess it could be available soon through their site aswell. Unfortunately I haven’t yet found a way to link directly to images. 2 million images were taken in June until September 2008 during mostly sunny days. The 2 cars who did this drove 1200 km in and around Stockholm city.
Update: It’s now possible to link directly to images. (thanks Ben)
