Google to Scan Roads of Northern Cyprus

TRNC Minister of Public Works and Transport, Erhan Arıklı, announced that the roads of Northern Cyprus will soon be accessible worldwide through Google Street View, Google Earth, and Google Maps.

Google will scan the roads of Northern Cyprus, adding the northern part of the island to Street View. The collected data will be published on Google Street View, Google Earth, and Google Maps.

Arıklı and the Director of Fact Innovation and Technologies Ltd., Sadi Yolgecen, signed a protocol to include TRNC roads on Google platforms.

According to the ministry, Arıklı stated that the main roads, divided roads, and district roads of Northern Cyprus will be scanned by a special vehicle equipped with a camera. The resulting data will be published on Google platforms.

Arıklı said, “This project will allow us to showcase the tourism and economic potential of our country to a wider audience. By presenting our country’s roads on Google platforms, we will provide significant convenience to potential visitors and investors.”

Sadi Yolgecen expressed pride in the project, saying, “Showcasing our country’s technological infrastructure to the world and allowing us to explore Northern Cyprus more closely through digital maps is a source of great excitement for our company.”
