New in V2.7: 9,438 public cameras on four continents. 340 high-resolution panoramas from foto-webcam.eu — 101 of them in Germany, from the Zugspitze to Munich and the Sauerland — plus open traffic cameras in London, Austin, California, Finland, Hong Kong, British Columbia, Ontario and New Zealand. Labelled badges show where cameras are; search any street by name to jump to the camera watching it. Traffic cameras appear at city zoom only, so the world map stays readable.
