Street View Canada
Canada is the second largest country on earth and almost all of its people live within a few hundred kilometres of one border, which is exactly what the Street View coverage looks like. The populated south is thorough. North of that, the imagery follows individual roads across enormous distances.
City guides
1 written guide for Canada, each with the streets worth walking and the views worth opening.
What the coverage is like
The southern corridor from Halifax to Vancouver is covered as completely as anywhere in the world, including small towns and rural concession roads.
The far north is a different proposition. There are few roads to drive, and where one exists it was often captured because it is the only route for hundreds of kilometres. The Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean is on Street View for its full length.
A number of northern communities are reachable only by air or by winter ice road, and several of those were captured on foot or by snowmobile rig rather than by car.
Worth opening beyond the city guides
The Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper, 230 kilometres alongside glaciers, with almost nothing built on it.
The Cabot Trail around Cape Breton, which runs along cliff edges above the Atlantic.
Old Quebec, the only walled city north of Mexico, where the upper and lower towns are joined by staircases captured on foot.
The Dempster Highway, unpaved for 740 kilometres, crossing the Arctic Circle and ending at the Beaufort Sea.

Questions about Street View in Canada
Is northern Canada covered by Street View?
Along the roads that exist, yes, including the Dempster Highway all the way to the Arctic coast. Communities with no road access are the gap, though several were captured on foot.
