Default Anybody with GOOGLE EARTH STREET VIEW details?

Hi fellows. I have been using Google Earth since been it is there. I want to know about the street view imaging technology that what the heck is this? I mean its great, awesome, fantabolus, mind blowing.

Can I anybody tell me how can we ask GOOGLE ORG. to have some street views in Lahore, like in CA (visit here) and (here)?

How to ask them? If it was just a matter of posting pictures on maps, I hope I could do well

I hope there are a lot of concerning members available on FORUM who are having knowledge about it.

Google street view is currently available for countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Japan only.

This works with the help of mounted cameras on cars which roam about in the cities. I'm not really sure if google has any plans to start this service for Pakistan. However, recently it has started for Singapore and Taiwan

You may like to visit this link as well

Hope that helps a little

As far as Google Maps is concerned (the detailed street map)
That too is unfortunately not available for Pakistan as for yet

Read this article for customization and API for google maps

Have a look at these two videos as well

http://www.youtube.com/v/TftFnot5uXw



Unfortunately, both the services are currently not available for Pakistan and most of Asian countries. Let's hope they start soon

Hi Again Surmount

I've found another interesting link
Now this thing is called the Google Map Maker
I couldn't figure out how people make the maps here but I believe this is the closest to what you were looking for

This is an image of Gulberg I took




I think I've got you to the right place this time

Thank you so much Brother. I am looking for such view:







I am asking is there any way to create such views inside our cities? In the Picture, By clicking on the 'ARROWS', We can walk on streets virtually.

I don't know if we can expect Google to send some camera mounted cars to our part of the world

Let's hope and meanwhile we can try our hand at the Map Maker
I think that's the best we can do as for yet
