Street View now available in Sharjah and Ajman

The Google Maps Street View feature can now be used in Sharjah and Ajman, adding both emirates to a list of 3,000 cities around the world that have this option.

Designed to allow users to view and navigate 360 degree street-level imagery of major streets across both emirates, the Street View feature is an advantage not only for tourists but for residents and businesses too.

“The idea behind the feature is to create a digital mirror of the world not only through imagery but by navigation,” Joyce Baz, Communications Manager at Google Mena, told Gulf News.

Users are able to explore landmarks, view natural wonders, and navigate a trip or other points of interest. All streets across both Sharjah and Ajman can be viewed through the new feature, giving residents the chance to view specific streets or buildings in the emirate before visiting them.

Baz explained the feature is also an advantage for businesses that can increase exposure by embedding the 3D map on to their website.
