Google Maps on Thursday commenced letting soccer fans explore into World Cup venues in Brazil without having to leave home reported Khaleej Times.
Additionally
known that the free online mapping service added “Street View” imagery
of all 12 World Cup stadiums along with scenes captured on roads painted
in festive tribute to the major global sporting event. Interestingly,
Street View program manager Deanna Yick said in a blog post that whether
we are watching the games from the comfort of our couch or packing our
bags for Brazil, Google Maps is our ticket to the World Cup. At the same time if we are lucky enough to have a physical ticket to Brazil, don’t forget to pack Google Maps for mobile.
Google
mapping applications for smartphones or tablet computers include tools
for finding the most efficient ways to get to games using buses or
trains in host cities. According to Yick, the service also features
maps of the insides of stadiums, airports, malls and other spots soccer
fans may want to explore. And that's not just enough because images from
other potential locations of interest, such as Iguacu National Park and
St. Michael of the Missions, were also added to Google Maps.
It's certainly gonna be a true World Cup journey!
