1In a world first, Google is expanding the Street View functionality of Maps to India without having captured any data itself. Instead, it's relied on Genesys International and Tech Mahindra, which have covered over 150,000 km within 10 cities: Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Nashik, Vadodara, Ahmednagar, and Amritsar. Google says the plan is to expand Street View to more than 50 Indian cities by the end of the year.
To use Street View, open Google Maps, zoom into a road in any of the aforementioned cities, and tap the area you want to view. The Street View API has become available to local developers too on this occasion.
Also in India, Google Maps is now showing information about speed limits shared by traffic authorities, starting in Bengaluru and Chandigarh. More cities should get this in the future. Eight cities now get information on road closures and incidents in Google Maps: Delhi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Gurgaon, Bangalore, and Agra.
