Indonesia Google Street View covers most regencies and cities in Sumatra (except most of Aceh), Java, Nusa Tenggara Islands, Borneo, Sulawesi, and North Maluku (includes Ternate, Tidore, and parts of Halmahera). There is currently no official coverage in Maluku (province) and the Papua region; all coverage in those areas are unofficial. Before 2015, only Java, Madura, and Bali were covered by the Street View.
In October 2019, Google excluded and removed most of the Street View images of Aceh due to a controversial incident. The Banda Aceh City Government considered suing Google about why the inappropriate image can be easily passed and shown to public. Even so, the government still allows Street View recordings in certain places that are not in roadways. The City Government also reported this incident to Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.
Since then, only parts south of Subulussalam; several meters away from border gate between Southeast Aceh Regency and Karo Regency; parts east of Lhokseumawe; a very small (several meters long) fragment of Teuku Nyak Arief Road at Banda Aceh, a fragment of Blang Bintang Lama Road and a Chinese housing complex at Neuheun in Aceh Besar Regency are currently covered in Aceh.
