Google Maps launches Street View in India
India really needs its own Google Maps alternative. I spent a while living there and found the near universal dependence on Google Maps to get anywhere a scary amount of reliance on a foreign service. I worry a Google Maps outage, accidental or intensional, could have big consequences on many people's ability to navigate around. (Eventually people will get directions by just asking on the street, but that's gonna be really tough for drivers) Developers in India could make some really cool solutions to the different address system, provide more interesting sources of realtime data, and better support for local languages.
