The Google Street View bike walked the streets of Bilbao to collect details that the search engine''s camera car was unable to take in its first visit to the Basque city. To be precise, the Google bike has been seen near and around the Isozaki towers.

This new tool consists of a camera which takes 360 degree photos. Aimed to improve the Google maps service, it began shooting in October, seeking places which the Street View car was unable to enter.

It has been a year since Google launched its famous car in order to improve its popular maps. The Monterey Bay or the University of San Diego, both in California, were among the first destinations of the bicycle.
