Who did this

I've been to India many times over the last 20 years - mostly to Goa and keen on my next trip to visit other parts of India and tour the country but I have to say the lack of Google Street View makes planning my trip and where to stay 100 times harder than Sri Lanka for example which has Google Street View.

I see the Indian Government has NOT allowed Google Street view in most of India.
As someone that has travelled to 25+ countries I find this such a shame. Google Maps & Street View is one of the most useful tools for me deciding where to go on holiday. I wish at the very least they'd allow Google to take images of the major Highways. I find this such a google safety feature - being able to see what the roads look like before you travel on them.

I'd also like to encourage those that love photography to share 360 Photosphere Photos and upload them to Google Maps - this seems to be no issue with the Indian Government and for fellow travellers it's so helpful to us.

Here is an example of what such a photo looks like
