Wow ! Wow! Singapore will the 5th country after the United States, Australia, Japan and France to be featured on Street View.
Lately, some Singaporeans may have spotted cars jetting around town with four cameras mounted on the roof and the word "Google" emblazoned on the side. The vehicles are part of a project to put Singapore on the virtual map. Google Street View, which is 3-D that combines thousands of photos to create a panoramic view of a city.
Are you not excited ? I am. See what others are talking and excited about:
1) It is perfect for people who can't read maps, it offers a real, ground perspective of how to get to a place.
2) It will allow users to search for places, such as resturant, for example, and view it as if they were standing at the front door. Isn't it exciting?
3) Small business owners are also excited. Especially for those located at street level. Users can walk their way to their shops/cafe online.
4) The whole World can also have a view by a search in Google. This allow tourist to preview restuarants, hotels, tourist attraction and public events before arriving in Singapore.
According to Google, this project is scheduled to be finished in a few months.
Very soon you and I and the whole World will be able to view Singapore, akin to someone standing on the street and taking a snapshot.
Isn't this COOL ?
Looking forward to your comments.
