After the long wait,at last Google has planned to offer it's one of the most incredible programs ever made,the Google Street View in India.This is an ambitious plan to collect visual data on the vast sub continent.Google said that the project has started in Bangalore-the IT capital of the country-and it will move though the country,the way it has done with 25 other countries since 2007.
Google will also try to avoid problems that have plagued Street View data collection in other countries,such as alleged privacy violations stemming from WiFi Hotspot mapping and identifying individuals.
There is yet no word on how denizens of India feel for being passed on getting Street View in favor of Antarctica.Expect for the travel,the logistics for mapping the ground of India is probably a lot harder than Antarctica.There are more than a billion people in India with cities that range from metropolitan to shantytowns and slums.There are certainly one billion people in Antarctica (or penguins,for that matter),much less shantytowns.
"We have got permission from Bangalore Police,and are in touch with State and Central Governments",a Google spokeswomen told international news wire AFP."We want to map all of the city,but anyone can complain if they are unhappy about the coverage".
If India is anything like it's European counterparts,there may be a couple mishaps.The United challenged Street View,Germany had some problems but ultimately ruled it legal and France imposed a 100,00 euro fine on Google for collecting personal information.
