It's available from Google the new 'StreetView' mapping for Spain. Spain is the second country in Europe where Google StreetView offers its service for the cities of Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and Seville where you can see high quality images taken at 360 ยบ, from both Google Maps and Google Earth services and their corresponding mobile versions. Although 100% of the cities is not covered, it provides the core of these and the intention is to continue expanding the service to cover the main urban areas. In a second phase, Google wants to cover other cities, both in Spain and other countries, although no dates are confirmed.
'Street View' is beneficial to many users, but also to many businesses. Google has submitted three examples. The first, Fotocasa is a real estate portal where you can see how customers are able to see from their computers the houses they want to buy or rent, equipment in the area, and so on.
Another example is focused to the leisure industry, so Google has taken the entertainment guide 'online' LaNetro. A user can get an idea of the distance between the bar at which he stayed with his friends and the bus to calculate the distance.
EsMadrid, dedicated to the promotion of the capital, is the third of the examples of applications of 'Street View' for businesses. In this case, one can 'tour' virtual places to meet and engage all from the same site.
After "several months of work," Spain is set to the fifth country to get the service 'Street View', after the United States, Australia, Japan and France.
