This would indicate that a lot of people are taking it seriously.

I couldn't see Cyprus in the country PDF downloads? But am browsing on my mobile just now, which is a bit of a pain.

Wasn't available. Cyprus is a bit of a black spot as far as google is concerned. Indeed, virtually all of the Streetview pictures you can see have been uploaded by Paphos Life.

I've got more to upload too, but the process is very slow at the moment, because of the virus. Google have to proofread the uploads to avoid being sued, and that requires workers.

We did some in Ayia Napa. However, we were still perfecting the method then, so some of them aren't very accurate. Uploading imagery to Google can be a colossal pain, and different devices record GPS information differently.

I guess we may also have done some in Nicosia. You can tell easily enough, by looking at the nadir (bottom) of the 360 image. If it is ours it will have our logo.
