Google is all set to launch its Street View in India. Google will be collaborating with Tech Mahindra and GENESYS to map out all the areas.
Google announced the launch on Wednesday. They have tried to bring the street view in India multiple times before but always failed to succeed.
The government of India was concerned with the safety of the people and their privacy and when the concern is fully cleared, Google is again launching it.
This time around Google has partnered with Tech Mahindra and GENESYS, 2 Indian Companies for the mapping solution which will be provided by them.
As per the Policy in 2021, Local companies can collect data on the cities and their mapping. Then foreign companies can license the data from them to provide services.
Street view will allow users to view panoramic and street-level 360” views and it will be brought by the local companies.
Since yesterday, Street View is available on Google Maps which will show the view of the 1,50,000 km of area across 10 cities.
10 cities include Bengaluru, Chennai, Amritsar, Pune, Nashik, Vadodara, Ahmednagar, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi.
All the 3 companies- Google, Tech Mahindra and GENESYS are looking to expand the mapping to 50 cities by the end of 2022. That will cover more than 1 million Kms in 18-24 months.
To use the street view, users need to open google map and then zoom into the street that they want to view and then Tap the area they want to view. Street view will show all the corners and explore the new areas they want to try or go to.
Street view data will be available to local developers so that they can provide better and smoother services to people.
