Africa 360 View
Bringing the streets of Africa to the world through Google Street View
The Gambia
RippleNami is proud to announce a groundbreaking initiative that promises to revolutionize the way the world sees Africa, starting with The Gambia. Our latest project, 'Africa 360 View,' brings the vibrant streets of Banjul and Kanifing into the global spotlight through Google Street View. Between May and June 2024, RippleNami mapped 1,199.4 km of Gambia's streets in stunning 360-degree imagery. We are dedicated to mapping the uncharted, breathing digital life into the heart of the Gambia.
Why Google Street View Matters
Google Street View offers an immersive glimpse into the world's streets. It allows users to virtually explore places around the world while enhancing navigation, education, and global connectivity.

Enhanced Navigation
Google Street View provides a visual aid to maps, making navigation more intuitive. Users can see actual buildings and landmarks, which helps in better understanding their route and destination before they even start their journey.
Local Business Visibility
Businesses visible on Street View are more likely to attract customers, as people can explore the area around them virtually before visiting in person.
Tourism Promotion
By providing panoramic views of tourist attractions, landmarks, and natural wonders, Google Street View can inspire travel and promote tourism by showcasing destinations in an immersive way.
Urban Planning
Governments use Street View for urban planning, infrastructure maintenance, emergency response, and enhancing public services through accurate, real-world visual data.

Our Partners
Many Western cities have Google Street View, but only a handful of African countries do. Google Maps has become our main tool for navigating the world, but being excluded from features like Street View can carry significant implications.
Until recently, many places in The Gambia lacked street names and house numbers, making finding a place or person extremely challenging. This is finally changing, thanks to the Google Plus Codes digital address system.
