patna is there.
Indyan, sorry mate, left by a few kms :( .

Actually the thing is that due to the sheer number of cities , it is not possible to make sure individual cities are included, as a result a few are left out.

@Indyan

hahaha still waiting... lol... may be u should change the city... they r not comming yaar... may b u write a letter to them...

anyway for me.. yup kolkata is in for a long time... but good for nothing... atleast images r 2 years old... :( now days so much developments... so hard to know the place from up while viewing a 2 year old pic... only those (like us) who live in the city (even they find it deficult) can find some place, but if u r new and watching kolkata from top... man nothing is there what u see... :(

How can they say they have the whole map of India without including all states &
Union Territories!! Google must do the job fully not partly.
They can release one called 'India Imagery' with the whole India covered. I will
definitely buy it.

It is realy great for me because now it includes my city.
I had earlier uninstalled it due to the lack of the above

Oh cmon, the resolution for areas not in hi-res is atleast 15m/pixel. Which means every large building on the whole planet can be seen for free!!

Vadodara is there as well.

btw liks i said most cities will be there. And eve if your city isn't in hi-res, there is still a lot to see. So download the app anyway.

My only question is what is the use of this feature .

Very good question.. All these images are not updated in real-time. Its said to be taken anytime within the past 3 years. So the question is correct - what is the use of this feature ?

Well everyone like to see their own house from top on what and how it looks like and looking at other popular places. That's just it ?

That's remind me of the movie "Men in Black" where tommy lee jones zoom in from space on earth to see what's his wife is doing. It was just a camera/pc trick, but technology like that - will it be ever be accessible by common humans on this planet ?

Anyone here hacked nasa.com or any telecommunication satellite yet ?

Now, google having included greater detail, more SECURITY PROBS will arise. When tech is wonderful for few, its painful for many!
