Google Street View re-enters India after 11 years

MapMyIndia launches 360-degree street view

Even as Google announced the launch of Street View, MapMyIndia on Wednesday also announced the launch of its 360-degree panoramic street view offering called Mappls RealView. The service will be available on MapmyIndia's consumer mapping portal Mappls on the web and Mappls App on Android and iOS.

Google Maps street view, in the past, faced several regulatory hurdles and could not be launched in India. Street view allows a 360-degree panoramic view of streets, tourist spots, and important landmarks.

The feature will now come alive in India, 11 years after the government rejected the first proposal made by the tech giant.
