Google Street View, the360 degree, panoramic and street-level view has launched in Dubai, making it the first city in the region to get the service from Google Maps.
The service will blur out people’s faces and vehicle licence plates, and will only be available in public areas of the city. Private residential areas or free zones will not be covered by street view.
Dubai municipality had been in talks with Google for about a year on launching Street View in Dubai. Both Google and Dubai Municipality stressed that the privacy of people was highly respected.
Google is going to roll out Street View in Abu Dhabi and the rest of the emirates very soon. You can check out Street View here.
