Title: Highways in the US not covered by GSV
Post by: jlam on April 09, 2023, 02:44:39 PM
I was reading through the Google Maps Sucks thread, specifically, the US 6 debacle, when I thought of something: What are some numbered routes or route segments in the United States not covered by GSV, whatever the reason? Here are some examples in Colorado:
We could include everything from international borders and newly opened roads to roads in the middle of nowhere.

A lot of CA 49 north of CA 89.

Business US 13 in Cheriton and Eastville don't have much coverage, with only tiny segments of coverage. Multiple state routes on the VA Eastern Shore don't have some either.

Many Virginia Secondaries don't have coverage as well.

Somehow the OH 823 Portsmouth Bypass freeway still doesn't have GSV coverage despite being finished for a couple of years by now.

In Arizona, many signed county and forest service roads have been removed from GSV because they're unpaved.  They were included at one time.

Not only in AZ, but in much of the country, rural areas haven't been updated in close to 15 years.  Not that they've likely changed all that much, but picture quality has vastly improved since then.

KY 199. Most of it doesn't even have coverage on KYTC's photolog.

  • Colorado Highway 14 intermittently east of Walden
  • Colorado Highway 114
  • Colorado Highway 149 between Lake City and Creed
We could include everything from international borders and newly opened roads to roads in the middle of nowhere.
I drive the segment between, well.. here (10 miles up the Poudre), to the end of 14 at Muddy Pass quite frequently. I find it also weird, that some random county road has imagery, yet 14 does not.

I'd fill in the gaps, but I don't think my poor, tired, Camry is up to the job.

Not a numbered highway, but parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina in the Mount Mitchell area are missing from GSV.

A brief segment of US 59 just west of the Arkansas/Oklahoma border (but not immediately at the border).

Remarkably, a good number of highways in PR, USVI, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands have GSV.

I swear there was another thread for this. And it was mentioned US 6 between the Colorado/Nebraska line and Imperial didn't (and still doesn't) have Street View. At least US 2 through Northeastern Montana finally got covered last year...

Not as far as I can see. There's a gap on YT2 just past the border. I also like how there's a GSV for the whole Chilkoot Trail, one of my bucket list hikes.

When you "drive it" though, it's continuous.

While GSV exists here now, US 165 from Giltett to DeWitt didn't have street view until just a few months ago.

There's a lot of state highways in Arkansas that don't have street view coverage at all. You could probably just look around with the coverage map for a bit and find some that don't have it.

It skips over that section when I tried to do it, but since it is so small of a gap, we'll count it for all intents and purposes.

Updated after Google had a somewhat productive summer in Upstate NY.

Parts of the following NY routes:
38, 184, 289, 345, 421*, 430, 431

Of course, there is still a lot of crappy GSV from 2007-09, but crappy is better than nothing.

Utah has a good number of unsigned "institutional" state routes without coverage, but many of them are not open to the public at all and others are no more than parking lots, so that doesn't feel fair.

There are a number of state park access routes missing coverage either in part or in their entirety. 303 is the one in that category that is signed to my knowledge.

Outside of those unique categories:

- SR 45 south of Bonanza
- SR 179 in its entirety, only because it is new
- SR 276 east of Lake Powell

KY 199. Most of it doesn't even have coverage on KYTC's photolog.

If I ever get my car into good enough shape to where I'm not terrified to take it on a road like that, (The guy on the travel mapping forum took an Accord on it but that was unplanned. I am suspicious about the job this mechanic did on my suspension/steering after I hit a fairly large log that fell on the road (it was in the dark, around a curve) because it's still making weird noises, and I'd like tires more suited to travel like that.) I would love to go and document/film that road. The idea of a state route being that awful really makes me need to see it for myself. I don't believe there's any (at least good) pictures or video of it out there.

I haven't really had the opportunity to catch anything not well-documented in that area for a while. Time and money unfortunately have to come first. Last thing I got was the back way out of Burkes Garden.

As for other roads, the gravel segments of NC 197 and NC 90 aren't at all on GSV. Even though both ends of 197 before the gravel are on it, suggesting they turned their camera off for it. Why I have no idea.

It's been about 10 years since I drove KY 199, but the surface condition was not anything to be worried about. It was in better shape than the back way into Burkes Garden. KYTC does do maintenance on the road, including drilling steel to repair embankment failures.

I never noticed that. I did notice when I went to check it out that there isn't any past imagery available for US 59/270 through that stretch. There's nothing remarkable about that road at all except it is rather scenic with Rich Mountain to the south and Black Fork Mountain to the north.

Guess that guy on the other form was being a bit hyperbolic then. I'll have to go capture it the next time I have good enough money to go out to that area again.

It looks like all of CO14 is in there now. Recent pics from June.

AR 262 immediately comes to mind. AR 33 between Casscoe and AR 130 including AR 33S also don't have street view coverage. There's probably some others but those just immediately come to mind for me.

I believe this no longer exists anyway as I have heard when they replaced the signs at the intersection, they put the WIS 28 shield in the middle between the A and the SS to eliminate the unintended quirk.
