| Summary | Trying to do urban massing assessments in Google StreetView. So far unfortunately not much joy. |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | Top of the list for overly simplistic by being irritatingly complex at the same time. |
| Limitations | The software in in Beta / Development status only. |
| Specifics | Only global geodata - no access to German site boundaries, etc. |
| Q&A | Developer - Fully established SaaS. Regular customer relations. |
| Manuals - There is a comprehensive documentation on the developers website (external link) | |
| Videos - There are various videos on YouTube that suggest a wider range of functions than we could validate in our tests (external link) | |
| Last evaluation | 26 February 2024 |
| Status | So far we could not get the system to work for our projects. |
| Note … | the range of functions might have evolved since our review! |
