Google Street Maps finally in Indonesia
So this morning Google Street Maps launched in Indonesia to accompany Google Maps.
Street maps is a service that has been available online for quite some time from various providers such as Yahoo! and Garmin and available on devices like Nokia and Blackberry smartphones.
With the announcement of iPhone 3G by Telkomsel, many wondered when Google will finally join Yahoo! In providing a street directory because iPhones rely on Google Maps for its built in map application.
While it may have been a rather embarassing situation for the world's most prominent Internet company, They may have just been biding their time for the right moment.
As of now however, iPhone's Map app and Google's mobile map site are still unable to access the latest data from Google's servers.
Once the mobile maps are up, we can begin to anticipate black vans roaming around Indonesian streets capturing images for Google Street View.
