In ten Indian cities, Google Maps debuted its brand-new street view feature in collaboration with Tech Mahindra and Genesys. Due to some security concerns, the Indian government previously blocked the feature's rollout. The most recent Google Maps feature displays panoramic pictures of roadways and other locations. When discussing data collecting, Google stated that it was entirely carried out by local partners and that the service would be made available in 50 Indian cities by the end of this year. Which ten cities are they? Over 1,50,000 km have been travelled across Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Nashik, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, and Amritsar, according to Google. How is the feature used? Users may access this feature by opening Google Maps on their phone or computer, zooming into any of the 10 cities' roads, and then tapping the region they want to see.
