Get to know Google Street View
The company responsible for the most famous and widely used search system in the world has produced true wonders. With GPS technology available for commercial use, many companies figured out how to get the most out of it. Google, of course, was one of them.
It all comes from the presentations and functions of Google Maps and the use of Google Earth. Importantly, such tools continue to have wonderful utility. But Google wanted to go even further. This is how Google Street View was born.
Use and immediate expansion
Google Street View is a tool capable of providing panoramic photos with different degrees of movement (290° vertical and 360° horizontal). The images uploaded to this system allow the user to have detailed information about the area they are passing through.
The United States was the first country where this amazing technology was introduced. This event took place in May 2007 and there were only images of 5 North American cities. But since its launch, Google Street View is present in:
- More than 30 European countries.
- 10 Latin American countries.
