How is the images created?

Street View cars have been up and down the country with special cameras that take photographs as they drive down public streets. Once the photographs have been taken they go through computer processing to make them ready for use on Google Maps.

When enough data has been collected and processed for an area they add it to Google Maps. The maps are not in real time and there is a period of time from when the images are taken, to when the finally appear on Google maps.
