Google StreetView has a new competitor. Weeks after Google released StreetView to the public, which allows users to move a character around on a map and see things from his virtual perspective, MapJack.com has launched an identical service for the city of San Francisco.
"Most people are intimidated by maps – they’re confusing and complicated, especially when you need instant information," said MapJack CTO Bjorn Moren, in a statement. "We’ve tried to make it easier for travelers to plan their trips to the city by letting them actually look at their destinations and what’s around them."
