Just as YouSpin360 takes over the global Android market recently with our YouSpin360 Lite, Google takes it course to another side of Asia as it tries to map the country Israel. Yes, we can all remember how Israel along with other countries protested against this highly beneficial project for privacy issues. But it’s time we set those things aside.

This is not an ordinary mapping but Google’s signature Streetview where users are able to see 360-degree views of an environment feeling like they are standing in the center of it all. Google has been mapping out the whole world since 2007 and the world is just thankful for it. It serves a lot of benefits to different industries especially with its interactive and quick browsing features.

One of the Google’s missions together with Israel is to allow tourists both foreign and local to get a tour of the country without using any polluted airplanes. Even with this good cause, here are some things Google should consider:

 

• In the past, the Israeli Justice Ministry has been concerned that people’s faces or license plate numbers would be exposed on Google Street View, but it is now asking Google to respect privacy and its authorization is dependent upon a number of conditions:
• Israeli Street View users will be given an efficient, reliable way to blur images of license plates, residences, and other objects.
• Google will provide a full explanation of the Street View service, citizens’ rights, and the intended routes of the Google Street View camera crews.
• Google will instruct Google Israel to follow the country’s legal proceedings.

 

If this will go well in the near future, we will be able to see what the other side of the world looks like. J According to Google, “Negotiations between the Israeli Justice Ministry and Google have been going on for three months.  We are happy that the Law, Information and Technology Authority has given clearance for the operation of Street View in Israel. We hope to update our information in the near future. “

 

We hope so too!
