Finally. As a "starving software developer", I can't really afford to travel the world. Luckily we live in an age where something like Google Maps is possible. I've traveled everywhere I want to go from my desk chair. Looking at Google Maps in India right now, I'm seeing a lot of blank/black views, and navigation along streets seems broken. So maybe they had to implement custom logic for this, and it isn't fully baked.

It's a work in progress. They've only announced "street views" for 10 indian cities so far. I guess data is still being collected and processed before it will be available for the whole country in Google Maps. Some prominent, touristy street views that Google publicised in India includes - Red Fort, Delhi ( https://www.google.co.in/maps/@28.6559308,77.23832,3a,75y,103.14h,100.99t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sc4oMdNuGcsiuqC90w5l0_Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.co.in/maps/@28.6559308,77.23832,3a,75y,10...? ) and Gwalior Fort, Madhya Pradesh ( https://www.google.co.in/maps/@26.2296974,78.1691643,2a,75y,359.35h,97.52t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4E06StChzlMAAAQfCQPsZQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.co.in/maps/@26.2296974,78.1691643,2a,75y,... ) ...
