Bozeman has changed a lot in recent years. There are new hotels and other businesses that seem like they've popped up overnight.

How Does Google "Street View" Work?

Here's a description according to the Google Maps website;

We drive and trek around the world to bring you imagery that enhances your experience and helps you discover the world around you.

When the Google Maps car is driving around, sometimes it captures pictures of people doing some very interesting things. Google makes sure to blur out the faces of people that are captured in the pictures. Sometimes, people are aware that it's the Google Maps car and do silly things in hopes of being photographed.

The updated pictures of Bozeman taken in August of 2022 may be the last for a while. The Google Street View website doesn't have any location in Montana listed on its upcoming schedule.

If you live in the Bozeman area, there's a good chance that a picture of your smiling face was captured, and you could be on Google Maps for the entire world to see.
