Google Street View Now Available in Kazakhstan
Google has introduced Street View in Kazakhstan, showcasing the country's urban landscapes and natural wonders through an extensive journey covering over 42,000 kilometers.
The tech giant has revealed the expansion of Street View into Kazakhstan, employing specialized trackers mounted on pickup trucks to capture the nation’s diverse terrain effortlessly.
“In retracing the routes of the Great Silk Road, our Street View vehicles in Kazakhstan follow the path of ancient traders, enriching the digital landscape with updated imagery of key cities like Saryagash, Shymkent, and Taraz, pivotal points along this historic trade route. This initiative contributes to Kazakhstan’s digital evolution and economic growth, providing valuable information for businesses and transportation services,” stated the company.
The initiative allows users to virtually explore the dynamic urban life of modern cities like Astana, with iconic landmarks such as the Baiterek monument and observation tower, the Khan Shatyr entertainment center resembling an open tent, and the avant-garde Nur Alem museum. Additionally, Street View offers glimpses into Kazakhstan’s industrial heritage, showcasing landmarks like the Metallurgists’ Palace of Culture in Temirtau, also known as the Temirtau Palace of Culture.
The Street View feature, now available in over 100 countries worldwide, has become a popular tool on Google Maps. It assists users in researching vacation destinations, discovering new neighborhoods, or assessing parking options near restaurants.
For those eager to explore Kazakhstan through Street View, the latest images can be accessed by clicking on the yellow Street View icon on Google Maps via computer or selecting a 360-degree photo of the desired location on a mobile device.
