Google Street View is coming to Singapore!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!
An eagle-eyed CNET Asia reader named Andrew spotted this silver Opel Astra with cameras and the Google logo pasted on the side door at the junction between Dorset Road and Kampong Java Road. Cnet Asia contacted Google, and the search giant confirmed that the service will be coming to Google Maps Singapore in the coming months. Street View launched in Japan earlier this year.
For the uninitiated, Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps and Google Earth that provides 360° panoramic street-level views and allows users to view parts of selected cities and their surrounding metropolitan areas at ground level.
I wonder if we can see their route schedule. Maybe someone can do something like this.

Wow… that’s impressive. There are so many roads in Singapore, can almost imagine them passing by the road infront of my house one day. Hahaha! Now why didn’t they ask me to be the driver?

YES! Google’s giving Singapore some needed attention! I was actually hoping they bring their famous directory service to SG first, but I guess I can live with Street View too!
