The Internet giant has started to capture images in Málaga for its Street View program.

Google has started to take 360 degree photos of the city of Málaga as part of the internet portal’s Street View program.
A car covered in cameras has been seen taking the photos which will shortly appear on the internet.

Street View was named as the most innovative product of 2007 by Time magazine, and reports are that Google are currently also filming in seven other Spanish cities, Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia, Galicia, Salamanca and Bilbao.

Some may consider Street View more evidence of Google’s dominance of the net, while others may have privacy issues.
