Spillover Countries

 Step 1 - Information on spillovers

This guide contains all countries with spill coverage.

Spillover coverage occurs when a Google Car from a country with official coverage drives over the border into a bordering country with no coverage, resulting in that country getting a bit of official coverage.

Another type of spill is Generation spill. The country with the spill coverage has official coverage, however not with a certain camera gen.

This is most useful for country streaks, as spillover countries are counted as such, instead of the original country.

Each spill was verified using OpenStreetMap, which has more accurate borders than Google Maps. This means that on Google Maps, the spill may look further in or further out of the country.

 Step 2 – Regular spillovers

Tanzania

The Tanzania Rongai Border spill from Kenya can be recognized by the dirt road turning into a paved road, with black and white kerbs. Many pine trees are also seen along the dirt road.

A white hut with the follow car waiting at it can be seen at the Namanga border crossing spill.

The Gambia

There are 3 distinct roads in the Dimbaya spill into The Gambia.

The N5 spill into The Gambia can be recognized by the red dirt shoulders, long grass and the car noticeably driving near the side of the road.

A light blue shack can be seen at the N4 spill.

Belarus

The P21 spill between Viciebsk in Belarus and Smolensk can be recognized by the yellow centre line, slightly red soil and evening coverage.

The E30 spill west of Smolensk can be recognized by the single yellow line, newly paved road under construction and the sign with “ВИЦЕБСКАЯ ВОБЛ.” (Vitsebskaya vobl.) on it.

Liechtenstein

Overhead signs directing to places in Switzerland and dashed yellow outer lines can be seen on the bridge spill east of Buchs.

This house with a large wooden roof and two speed limit signs can be seen in the northern Liechtenstein spill.

Guyana

The Takutu River Bridge, west of Lethem, can be recognized by the lack of cars around and the driving side changer to the east.

Paraguay

A long road of spill can be seen from the Brazilian town of Ponta Porã into Pedro Juan Caballero in Paraguay. The road looks like a regular road in any Brazilian town, however Paraguay flags can occasionally be seen.

Venezuela

The Puente Internacional Francisco de Paula Santander Bridge between Cúcuta in Colombia and Ureña in Venezuela can be recognized by the yellow and red guardrail, and streetlights with a red base. The bridge is overall pretty busy.

This dirt road with a sandy and arid environment, and a T-junction ahead, can be seen south of Maicao.

The BR-174 spill from Roraima to Venezuela can be recognized by the two countries' flags, and the name of the countries written on them.

 Step 3 – Generation spill

Monaco

Many roads with Generation 3 spill can be seen in the northwest of Monaco, with a small section in the northeast. The Google car will have a short antenna. Many of these locations are nondescript, so make sure to look out for clues such as plates and bollards.

Uruguay

This bridge with thick white guardrails can be seen in the Generation 4 Uruguay spill. The roundabout at the end of the spill can be recognized by its octagonal shape.
