GOOGLE Street View for the Isle of Man has gone live for the very first time.

People are now able to navigate 360 degree street level imagery of places and landmarks across the Island.

Google Street View was first launched in May 2007 but it took until last year for the Google Street View cars to visit the Island. They travelled over in April and August to capture the images.

Speaking last year Alex Downie MLC, Political Member for the Department of Economic Development, said: "We are really pleased that Google is extending its coverage of Street View to cover the Isle of Man.

"People around the world will be able to see the natural beauty and features unique to the Island. Potential visitors can take a tour of the Island and be inspired to come and visit our shores."

Anyone who wishes to request the blurring of images or removal of inappropriate content from Street View can contact Google here.
