Google Street View to Add Store Interiors? [RUMOR]
Posted by Danielle Flaro
Rumor has it that Google maps is now taking you into stores. Intel was released from Oh Nuts, a New York city nut and candy store that google came into their store and took pictures of their store. Pictures were taken every 6 feet in all direction. When Google was asked about it they said “We are always experimenting with new features for Google Maps. We have nothing further to announce at this time.”
There area few issues that I find with this idea. First off if it is supposed to be used to browse the store before you go then they would have to go in at least monthly and take new pictures because store products are always changing. The next issue is stores are constantly opening and closing, so again you need to keep going and taking new pictures. If it's not updated then there is really no point in having it because if you see a product you want who is to say it will be there when you go.
I guess I'll just have to hear more before I am sold on this Google store view.
