Google Street View in Europe The British government said the company would not be fined for the breach. In March 2011, legal action against Google Street View in Germany resulted in court ruling that the project is legal; however, Google later decided not to expand or update existing coverage of Germany by the service. In April 2011, a temporary ban on Google Street View data collecting in Austria was lifted, after being imposed by national data protection agency in May 2010. Google announced it was satisfied with the decision, but also stated that it had no plans to offer Google Street View coverage in Austria
Google Map Maker Google Map Maker Google Map Maker is a discontinued mapping and map editing service launched by Google in June 2008. In geographies where it is hard to find providers of good map data, user contributions could be used to increase map quality. Changes to Google Map Maker were intended to appear on Google Maps only after sufficient review by Google moderators. Google Map Maker was used at Google Mapathon events held annually. In November 2016, it was announced that Google Map Maker would be retired and merged with Google Maps itself; it was officially shut down on March 31, 2017.
