Indian Brothers Rival Google Street View With Wonobo


Some of the impressive features of Wonobo's main street view include a map on the left side and the street view on the right or you can have a full-screen street view and keep the map as a small box at the bottom. And you can click or drag on the street view to go down a street. It also offers you to create a pictorial storylines and guides, for example you could create a 'Sachin Tendulkar guide' that shows everything from the nursing home he was born in to the house he lives in now. The website also brings you articles relating to the city once you select it.

Previously the company created map content for others such as Navteq, Nokia and Bing, and was involved recently in creating digital maps of Dubai, Mecca and Medina.

As of now Wonobo street view is being launched for 12 cities— Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, Jaipur, Costal Goa, Kolkata, Agra, Pune. The remaining 42 cities will be launched over the following weeks.

Wonobo is also working with the Indian tourism department to showcase heritage sites, something that Google is also now doing, though it is yet to get permissions for wider street views.
