With Ask Google Earth, you can now access one of our latest datasets derived
from Google Street View, which provides a rich overview of
infrastructure assets in the real world. This feature lets you identify and
locate specific types of infrastructure within a defined area, streamlining
workflows for urban planning, maintenance, and analysis.
