🌎 Street View
Virtual display on Street View helps people in everyday life - for example, they can look ahead to see what a complicated intersection looks like, where to park in front of a polyclinic, or what the entrance to a restaurant they are going to for the first time looks like. In addition to practical use, thanks to Street View it is also possible to virtually travel the world and plan trips into the unknown.
While the first five cities were photographed in May 2007, today users can visit more than 100 countries and territories around the world through Street View.

Czechia has a wonderful collection of images on Street View. Eliška chose places that have their own story, inspire them to explore the world or are simply part of our surroundings. She supplemented these photos with her unique illustrations.

“It was really fun for me to draw in the Street View images! When you imagine what a toy car can capture, there are no limits to imagination. And who knows what happens inside the National Museum when the last visitor closes the door?” Eliška Podzimková comments.
In her illustration it became the scene of a race of prehistoric fish running over obstacles.
...I thought to myself, what if Červenáček was looking at it, trying to reveal the secret instructions for getting the hedgehog out of the cage. After all, it was on this table that Jestřáb wrote his stories," explains Eliška.
Travellers from different time periods in the illustrations visited Street View shots from the Krkonoše National Park and the main square in Olomouc. A photo with a picture from Moravian Šatov refers to the hidden treasures and traditions of the Czech Republic.
It's a great and practical feature, and I really appreciate being being part of the project, adds the illustrator.
