Google Street View now available in multiple locations in India: Here’s how to access it
Google Street View is now available in multiple locations in India. The feature, rolled out last year in India, was initially limited to the selected cities of the country. Now users can get a 360-degree view of even small towns and villages in India.
The feature, available on Google Maps, returned last year after a six-year ban due to security reasons. While most of the places in India have 360-degree viewing options, some places are still accessible through static images only.
The feature is present in both mobile and web versions of Google Maps but the web version has got some extra features such as it will show month and year on which a particular photo was taken and the web version has an ‘Explore’ feature that shows static and 360-degree images of nearby places.

Immersive View
meanwhile, generative AI is coming to Google Maps to make navigation a lot easier. As a result, Immersive View, which was launched recently, is getting a 3D view while navigating. A step forward from offering an immersive view of a place and what’s going on at that place, the new Immersive View will offer a bird’s-eye view of the entire route to your destination. That is in 3D.
In other words, you see what you are likely to see while taking the suggested route, albeit in bird’s-eye view. Google said it will even offer traffic simulations so you understand how to plan your journey to a particular destination.
