Odd that Google themselves don't seem to know that there's no streetview in
Germany.

They class the static photo montage they use in Germany as being
streetview. Personally, I find it a PITA, as I like to use streetview to
look at the approaches to hotels and their car parks before I travel.
SatNav does not always take you to the right place to park.

I like the make of countries that Britain has not invaded, but I wonder
how we missed so many.

I think "3. The Only 22 Countries in the World Britain Has Not Invaded"
should be combined with "4. Map of €˜Pangea with Current International
Borders".

There is *some* StreetView in Germany, most cities and large towns.

I do exactly the same with Streetview. Also I like to plan routes in detail
when driving abroad, and it's a great way to choose between alternatives
-when available.

Strangely, one of the best mapped countries I've come across with Streetview
is Croatia
