It is here, finally!  Google has just made Google StreetView available in Singapore.  You can now view the streets of Singapore using Google Map on your PC or on your mobile device.  First launched in May 2007, Street View is hugely popular worldwide and is available in more than 100 metropolitan areas around the world. Singapore is the first country in Southeast Asia to get Street View and the fourth country in Asia Pacific after Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

After months of waiting since Google street view car was first spotted on Singapore’s street, we can enjoy this fantastic service provided by Google now.  If you have a PC now, just launch your favourite web browser and go to http://map.google.com.sg/ and drap the little yellow man on the top left corner to any street and enjoy Singapore’s street view.

And what I did was I used my HTC Hero and launched the Google Map, long press my current position on the map and select the address box popped up and went into the StreetView.  And I took a screenshot of my Hero and you can see it from my post.  The compass mode works very well also.   When I turned to different direction, the scene on screen will just follow my direction.

Hi guys, pick up your phones and try it out now!

The official press release of Google StreetView for Singapore is here.
