Google Street View comes to Singapore
CORP TALK: Google has announced the launch of Street View in Singapore, where users can view and navigate in 360 degrees street-level imagery of the city, including its neighborhoods.
Taken by Street View cars along all public roads earlier this year, the imagery includes major locations like Orchard Road, Marina Bay and Clarke Quay, Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam and heartland areas like Tampines, Jurong and Woodlands.
The best part about this is that Street View can be accessed on the mobile phone, giving users a virtual photo-based street guide when they need to find a specific building or location.
Street View for Google Maps was launched in May 2007 and is now available in more than 100 metropolitan areas worldwide. Singapore is the first in Southeast Asia and the fourth in APAC, after Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
The technology in Street View blurs faces and license plates, and users can easily flag images for removal if they’re deemed inappropriate.
