Google Street View launched in India, know what will change after this

Google Maps has launched its much awaited feature Google Street View. It was expected for a long time that Google is going to launch it in India as well. Earlier, Google had launched this feature in America. But the question arises that after its launch, what will change in Google Maps which was not there before?

Why is it special?

Google has given such a technology in its Maps application called Street View, where 360 ​​degree interactive panorama view will be available. Right now this service will be visible in only 10 cities of India. Google has partnered with Tech Mahindra and Mumbai based Genesis International Company to implement this technology. This feature has been implemented due to the new National Geospatial Policy, 2021. Due to this, local companies buy such data and licenses from others. India will be the first country where Google will get Street View through a partner.

Gullify project given name

Google has named this project as Gullify, initially this project has been implemented in 10 Indian cities. By the end of the year, it is expected that these services will be started in 50 cities. A total of 70 thousand km mapping will be done inside the next two years. On this, Google Maps Vice President Miriam karthika Daniel told The Indian Express that “Our partners have experience in geospatial technology and logistics. In addition, the partners together have the ability to scale across multiple sectors.”

No mapping of government, defense and defense sector

Google's Vice President also clarified about this policy that government, defense and military areas will not be mapped under this project. They say that our partners know very well which data to collect and which data to collect. This policy of Google was stopped in the year 2011. Earlier Google was going to implement the policy of Street View but Bangalore Police objected to it. Then Google was working on interactive panorama maps with Wonobo and later MapMyIndia.
