Answer to all questions related to 'Google Street View': Google takes photos of all places on foot, bicycle and car, you can see every corner from mobile
Google has launched its Street View feature in India. It gives a 360 degree view of any route. Now you can know about any place sitting at home. Along with this, you can also get a virtual experience of any restaurant or mall.
Since its launch, many questions are being raised in people's minds. For example- how can we use it? How is Google taking so many photos? Can Google Street View see indoors? etc. etc. At Bhaskar Explainer, we are answering 10 such questions…
Question-1: Finally, is this Google Street View, which is much talked about these days?
You must have often used Google Maps to go somewhere or find a way. Google Maps has added a new feature called Google Street View. This feature shows us what each street corner is like. Imagine you want to visit the Red Fort in Delhi. Now before going there, if you want to see that place, how do you see it? You will say that there are many pictures of this on Google. Yes, but if you can sit at home and see a place in 360 degrees, what is it like, what is around it? What will get in the way of getting there? And what does all this really look like? The answer to all these questions is Street View. Through this you can experience the real view of any place. It also tells you how to move around this location with arrows.
Question-2: Understand what Street View is, but how does it work?
For Street View, Google collects photos by pedestrians, bicycles, boats, cars. Google uses a number of specialized cameras that can take pictures from multiple directions at once. These photos are later combined to show a 360 degree view.
Google will collect data for this feature along with Indian companies Tech Mahindra and Genesis International. This is the first time that Google is going to work together with local companies. Genesis International is an advanced mapping solutions company. On the other hand, Tech Mahindra is a major player in digital transformation, consulting, business re-engineering and solutions.
Q-3: How can it be used and what is the charge?
There is currently no charge for using Google Street View. It is also very easy to use. You don't need any new app for Google Street View. This is a feature of Google Maps. You can go anywhere with street view by downloading google maps from google play store in android phone.

Google is creating street view of most cities through cars. A camera system is installed on the roof of these cars, which keeps taking pictures. It started in 2007 in the US. This Google car has been roaming in different cities of the world for the last 10 years. Till now these cars are sold in more than 70 countries and over 10 lakh km. has run
Along with this, Google also takes photos using different devices. Common people can also upload pictures to Google Maps. Google also shows Street View using these images.
Q-5: Will Google Street View go live?
No, it's not alive. The images used in this are from the time when Google took the image there. Along with this, Google also pulls the images that people send. To find out when the picture you're seeing in Street View was from, you can open Google Maps on a laptop or computer and look up and down. Here is the name of the place and below it the information about when the picture was taken.

Question 6: If I'm on the road, will I also appear in Google Street View?
No, because it is not alive, then you can move anywhere with confidence. Yes, if you were there when Google took the photo, you would be visible. However, under its privacy policy, Google obscures anything that reveals your identity. Everything like your face, house, car number plate is included in this.
If you want to completely fade in a photo, you can also ask Google for this. For this, you need to go to 'Report a Problem' in Google Street View's privacy settings. Here you can register your complaint. Even in photos taken from other people, it says that you obscure any feature revealing their identity for the privacy of others.
