Google Maps has made some updates that give them a more worldly view. First up, some European countries are gaining access to Map Maker. They are: Albania, Belarus, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia. Also getting the update is Malaysia, which, of course is in South Asia.
Meanwhile, folks in Taiwan, Switzerland and Portugal now have access to Street View in Google Maps.
But that's not the only Street View update. Be a kid again by exploring Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca,Thunderhill Raceway Park, San Diego State University and LEGOLAND California, now available in Street View as well.

Google alway tries new and innovative features and the street view is really useful apart from the fun of zooming in and looking at distant places you one day wish to visit. It is a very useful feature that helps you find places quickly if you are on the move and looking for a certain business. I hope that the folks over at Google try to take this technology further and target more countries.
