Google Maps launched its services in several Ugandan towns including Kampala and Entebbe last week. Google Maps users will be able to search online maps, look up businesses, advertise for free via Google Maps Local Business Centre, create maps and check locations while on the move.
Google Maps in Uganda can be viewed via the Map button which shows the traditional map view for finding an address or planning directions. To explore in more detail users can choose the Satellite button, which includes satellite and aerial photographs.
The Terrain view shows the physical geography of a place. Google Maps are also now accessible in 29 other new African countries. This follows earlier launches of Google Maps in Kenya and South Africa.
