New website navigates 1.3 million cities

A new website and app has been launched that allows travellers to navigate their way around 1.3 million global cities. StreetViewMaps.City allows users to explore the streets of almost any city in the world and search for specifi c locations and addresses. Picture icons displayed along the right side of the screen display various categories of establishment, such as airports, banks, car rental outlets, embassies, gas stations, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, spas, train stations and travel agencies. The site incorporates locations recognised by Google Place Types and clicking an icon on the map will display a Google Street View.
