On October 7, 2009, Street View was made available for several large Canadian cities, as well as Banff National Park and Whistler, British Columbia (one of the sites from the 2010 Winter Olympics); coverage of the United States was also further expanded, although some key areas have yet to be added. With the addition of Hawaii on November 9, 2009, all fifty states are now represented in Street View. At the same time, more locations in the USA in other areas were added.
On November 9, 2009, Street View was made available in the main cities of Mexico, including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Cancún and Puerto Vallarta.
On December 2, 2009, eight more Canadian cities were added, from east to west St. John's, Sherbrooke, Sudbury, London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Victoria. At the same time, more landmarks in USA were added. By January 21, 2010, more American landmarks appeared on Street View, including San Diego Zoo and Sesame Place.
On February 10, 2010, many more areas of Canada (barring extremely northern and rural areas) were added. Of note, ski runs on Whistler Blackcomb Resort is also covered in this update. The update also added further coverage of Alaska in the US and some more cities in Mexico. Using Street View, it is now possible to "drive" almost to the shore of the Arctic Ocean in Alaska along the Dalton Highway; in Canada, the northernmost community currently imaged is Inuvik, Northwest Territories off the Dempster Highway.
