See how Google mapped Venice

Venice is the most famous city on the water and you must be wondering how Google managed to map that city with its car? Nicely, Google did not use the car as usual, but the "Trakker", which is otherwise used to map inaccessible parts of cities. And since Venice is a city on water and the only means of transportation are boats, I certainly can't use a car.

By the way, Trakker is a person who has this famous 3D camera on his back as if he were on the roof of a car. If you are interested in what that car looks like, you can take a look at this post - https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2013/10/when-can-we-expect-street-view-from.html

Google published a text on its blog about how they mapped Venice where you can find pictures, clips, and one interesting page dedicated only to that story.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
