Bangkok Thailand Map; Mapjack - Phuket Street Thought - Virtually Similar Beingness Here!

Update 2012 - Google Maps directly has Phuket Street View. Try it! MapJack does non seem to get got been updated since I wrote this inward 2009.

I get-go heard of MapJack a distich of years ago, which was almost when it started. It's really similar to Google Street View (available equally business office of Google Maps), which was launched almost the same time. The thought alongside both - to map towns together with cities alongside street stance images. The MapJack images are taken yesteryear photographic tv set camera operators on human foot or inward vehicles. Every few meters, a novel 360 grade image. Every street, every building.... seat it all together together with y'all tin laissez passer on the sack "walk" around your ain town, or places y'all get got been or desire to visit. It's nonetheless inward its infancy of course, roofing some the US cities (MapJack started alongside San Francisco) together with (for reasons I am non clear about) quite a lot of places inward Thailand too. Chiang Mai was added get-go together with now... Phuket!

MapJack Phuket - Start Here.

Google Maps has a lot to a greater extent than coverage - loads of cities inward the the US together with Europe, but MapJack, which claims to last run on a shoestring budget, is doing Thailand. Hurrah! I mean value the Phuket images are almost a yr old... the work alongside a projection similar this is keeping images updated, peculiarly inward a house similar Phuket where there's edifice a plenty, novel roads etc... Things await really dissimilar to 10 years agone when I arrived. Google Earth is some other cracking tool, but some of the images of Phuket are over v years one-time now, though are updated directly together with then

#update 2011 - October... Google Street stance auto has been spotted inward Phuket!

Not certain if it's the same for everyone, but I larn defaulted to a start paradigm at Kalim beach, simply northward of Patong. Here's the screenshot:

Now, thus far.. aside from the fact that some images inward the seedier areas of Pattaya were removed, at that topographic point has been no telephone band for human face upwards blurring together with licence plate blurring similar inward Google Street View. I get got yet to divulge myself or anyone I know on MapJack, but I estimate I bespeak to waste materials to a greater extent than hours looking at the images! You mightiness divulge yourself on there! What y'all also larn into these images is a snapshot of daily life together with if y'all click on dissimilar areas inward Phuket - a adept appreciation that Phuket has a lot of variety, it's non all beaches together with tourists!
