Street Level Google Maps now in Australia
- Posted by Badi Jones on May 19th, 2006 - Comment on this Post »
Google maps has just released street level maps for Australia and New Zealand.
Google’s release comes just a few weeks after an Australian company called Zoom In debuted its street mapping application for Australia. No doubt zoomin’s release motivated Google to quickly get street level maps for AU done, but it may have been a bit too quick. It looks like the Google local search feature isn’t working for the Australia region.
I’m not an expert on Australia, but I do know a few places there, so lets compare one in Google maps and Zoomin.
I entered [Surfers paradise] in to Google Maps while in Australia. I got nothing but ads. I entered it into zoomin.com.au and it works like a charm.
This is a good move on Google’s part, but they have to at least get the local search feature working to make this product worth wile.
