Street View Brno: Discover hidden places where the Google car has not reached

Have you noticed in Brno that Google Maps suddenly „sees“ even where there used to be just a gray area?
Between 2022 and 2025, our Digisolu team (under the Digital Solution Marketing association) mapped over 70 kilometers of routes on foot. See how we redrew the blue line in Street View and why you can’t order the Google car, but you can order us.

What exactly is the „Blue Line“?

When you grab the yellow figure (Pegman) in Google Maps on your computer and drag it over the map, the streets underneath light up blue. This blue line shows the routes driven by the Google Street View car, walked by Google with a Trekker, or – which is our case – walked by people from Digisolu with panoramic imaging technology.

If you drop the figure onto the blue line, you immediately „jump“ into the street view. Without this line, Street View does not exist in that location.

Time Travel: A Feature You Must Try

One of the most interesting possibilities our work unlocks is the so-called timeline.
Thanks to our re-mapping, you can compare directly in the maps how Brno has changed.

How to do it?

  1. Enter Street View: Drag the figure onto the blue line.

  2. Find the gray box: In the top left corner, you will see a box with the address and the date the current image was taken (e.g., October 2025).

  3. Activate the timeline: If there is a „See more dates“ button next to the date, you’ve won.

  4. Browse history: Clicking expands the timeline, where you can switch between the old shot from Google (e.g., from 2014) and the modern reality from Digisolu from September 2022 or October 2025.

You can observe the transformation of facades, pavement repairs, or complete revitalization of locations, such as Nová Zbrojovka.

Where have we mapped the new blue Street View line in Google Maps for you?

While the Google car sticks to the roads, we mapped about 70 km on foot in Brno.
Here is a selection of places you can now walk through virtually:

Why is this important for your city?

Current digital presence is crucial for citizens and visitors:

  1. First Impression: Old facades or torn-up streets on maps can discourage tourists and investors.

  2. Key Navigation: Accurate depiction helps couriers, emergency services, and visitors arrive without getting lost.

  3. Digital Chronicle: Street View also functions as a historical archive of the municipality’s development.

You can’t order the Google car. Digisolu, yes!

If your „blue line“ is outdated or missing, you can’t wait for the Google car – it cannot be ordered.

You can’t order the Google car… Digisolu yes! 😉

We are ready to cooperate with cities on a complete update to improve routing so people always arrive at the right place.
