Explore Bangladesh From Your Computer, Thanks to Google Street View

DHAKA, Feb. 11 (NsNewsWire) — People from around the world can now explore Bangladesh from their smartphone or PC with the launch of Google Street View service in the South Asian country on February 5, 2015. Roam the streets of Dhaka and Chittagong, Bangladesh’s two largest cities, or explore digital panoramic imagery of 40 of the country’s most important historic, heritage, and tourism sites, also available on Google Maps.

Bangladesh’s Street View was a year in the making — on February 14, 2013, the Google Street View car started its work from Uttara in Dhaka. The country becomes the 65th to have this Google service, first launched in May 2007.

Street View in Bangladesh is the result of collaboration between Google and the Access to Information (A2I) Programme at the prime minister’s office in Bangladesh, which is supported by the United Nations Development Programme and the US Agency for International Development.
