Google Maps has recently got the street view feature back, with which we can explore 360° images of the streets captured by vehicles across India. With this feature, navigation becomes more practical and reliable. The feature which has now returned was banned back in June 2011 due to privacy concerns. Google’s Street View will get its information from Tech Mahindra and Genesis for starters to show us accurate navigation for 10 Cities in India. However, by the end of the year, Google Street View will be able to let us navigate 50 cities in India accurately.

Street View currently covers India’s 10 major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Vadodara, and Amritsar. Hyderabad and Kolkata are going to be added soon. Officer workers will be happy to know that, apart from a 360° image view, Google Street View offers us reliable navigation with realistic traffic updates. With this feature, drivers will get a real-time update on traffic intensity. The perfect way to navigate through a street view is to visual reference available along with the feature.
