Google Street View Trinidad - UPDATE: It's here!

Postby Dohplaydat » June 1st, 2021, 2:09 pm

Just saw this on YouTube. It's about how one Zimbabwean guy volunteered his time to drive/walk around to take pics of Zimbabwe for Google Street View.



Why can't we do the same for Trinidad? We are one of the few places in the world where these pics don't exist.

I saw a vehicle once some years ago driving on the highway with the camera. I thought it was imminent.

Plus there is this thread, it was a different vehicle though viewtopic.php?p=9091818

Probably have something to with our gutless data protection act and absence of a functioning CIO didnt let google get anywhere.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind volunteering a day or two, especially as traffic dead these days. It would be ideal to get congested areas done quickly.

The problem was that the politicians did not want GV to out their favourite hideaways.

Too many secrets to be kept.

You can do it yourself if you have a 360° camera and the Google Street View app.

And almost all of it is done by one or two people.

They’ve got the entire North South highways covered and parts of Downtown and the Savannah now. Seems to be an ongoing effort. I saw Diego Martin Highway added today. South areas are represented too.

Whoever is doing the Street View maps for Trinidad, this is an excellent job.
I was looking for a hardware's phone number this morning which was not listed on Google or the paper phone book (the backward idiots). Went into Street View and saw their sign on the street with contact number. At least they were on a main road.

Good growing coverage so far, hope you guys keep working on it and cover the entire country, even off-road if possible. One thing though, the camera is not aligned properly on the mount.
