Apple maintains an updated list of countries, cities, and territories of where it is conducting ground surveys for Look Around. That list was recently updated with the addition of Poland. Additionally, a photo shared on Facebook shows an Apple Maps image collection vehicle in Poland. Apple says that the "vehicle ground-based research" of Poland will continue until August of this year.
