In Google Earth does Belgium allow street view and if not why not,thank you.?

There is no street view in Belgium, Portugal,Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and most Countries to the East of these.( Although there is street view in part of The Czech Republic.) I have heard it has something to do with 'privacy', but as there is nothing stopping anyone taking a photograph of any house or other building and publishing it on the internet, I'm not inclined to believe that.


What it may be is that Street View in those Countries is not yet ready. After all it is only about 3 or 4 months ago that the UK was added to it..





Incidentally you don't need Google Earth to see Street View. Just go to Google and click on Maps|||All the pictures are already taken but Google is still processing(blurring faces, blurring number plates etc.). It should be available in October 2010.
