Google Inc. has added two more countries to its Google
street view service to make it 50 countries on Wednesday.
The Google street view is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that allows you to view places through 360-degree, panoramic, and street level imagery.
Lesotho which is enclosed by South Africa and is entirely 1000m or more above the sea level, will be the third country in Africa to have the Google street view after South Africa and Botswana.
Google said in a blog post that users will be able to explore some of the mountainous imagery captured by Google street view cars, including the winding roads and lakes.
With a service like this, there are bound to be privacy issues and Google has faced its fair share of the problem.
Countries like Germany, Switzerland, and Italy have expressed concern about the privacy of its residents.
Google street view was launched in 2007 in five U. S. cities.
