New Delhi: Navigation app Google Maps keeps adding new features to the app for the convenience of its users. Now the Street View feature of Google Maps is finally available across India. Google announced Street View in India last year, though it was initially launched in Bengaluru on a pilot basis. Now it has been introduced to many places including small villages and towns.
Google had earlier launched this feature but later discontinued it. Now it’s back. Significantly, the Street View feature of Google Maps is amazing. It takes you virtually to an area and it seems that you are standing in that area.
Virtually 360-degree view of every city and street
With the help of this feature, you can see Street, Landmark, Building, etc. at 360 degrees. The feature shows you a complete view of a place while sitting at home.
