NOTE: Coverage is being sporadically released, so click the link below to view an up-to-date map.

You can check out the coverage in detail on this site.

Rwanda uses long white front and yellow back licence plates.

All the coverage in Rwanda is made with a Generation 4 camera. In most of the coverage, the Google car is entirely visible: it is a big white, black, or brown pickup truck. The camera mount is visible.

Occasionally, the Google car will be covered entirely by a big blur.

The coverage has a noticeable hazy tint to it, which is especially apparent in the sky.

NOTE: In Africa, similar hazy Generation 4 coverage is common in Senegal.

Rwanda is generally quite hilly, but not very mountainous.

Most of the soil in Rwanda has a noticeable red tint to it.

Banana plants are common throughout Rwanda.

Rwanda uses multiple different red and white cylindrical bollards.

Streets in Rwanda are noticeably very clean and free of garbage.

Kerbs are often painted with black and white stripes.

The black pickup truck can be found in parts of Kigali.

Tea plantations are common in Western Rwanda, and a couple other pockets.

Volcanoes can be seen in northwestern Rwanda.

Much of the Kigali coverage is in the richer neighbourhoods. You will see a lot of luxury villas.

This stretch of RN6 in the Nyungwe Forest National Park goes through a lush and hilly landscape. The entire road is paved, with a middle yellow and outer white lines. French style bollards and green lamp posts with thin and long lamps can be seen on the sides of the road.
