Google Street View enhances property buyers’ online experience
Following today’s launch of Google Street View in South Africa, RE/MAX of Southern Africa, in partnership with local web application development specialists White Wall Web, have become the first Real Estate franchise in SA to fully integrate this technology into their website.
Google Street View is a service linked to Google Maps and Google Earth that provides users with panoramic, photographic detail at street level. Areas in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, Johannesburg and Durban were mapped out by stitching together millions of photographs taken by the Google Street View Trikes (vehicles), enabling users to view panoramic images of local streets in vivid detail, as if they were standing on the very street they were viewing. Users visiting www.remax.co.za can now see the ‘Street View’ of specific properties listed on the site.
