Google Street View vehicle updates mapping in Trabzon, Turkey

A Google Street View mapping vehicle has been traveling through the city of Trabzon, capturing images for Google Maps. The vehicle, equipped with cameras and a roof-mounted rig, appears in different neighborhoods each day, such as Meydan, a district in Of, and Akçaabat. Residents have noted its presence on social media, wondering which agency operates it. Google confirmed the vehicle is part of its regular street‑view data‑collection program, operating with the necessary permits and cooperation from local authorities. The new imagery will soon refresh the online maps, allowing users to view more up‑to‑date street‑level photos of the city.

The initiative reflects Google’s ongoing effort to keep its global mapping service current, and the recent sightings in Trabzon are part of a broader update schedule covering multiple Turkish cities.
