MapJack is a map feature introduced in 2007 that is similar to Google Street View, but has a lot less coverage than Google Street View. Its current headquarters is in San Francisco, and is in the beta stages.^[1] The site currently provides these types of views of various locations in the United States and Thailand. It was only the second to provide such views of an area outside the United States when Chiang Mai was introduced.

Regions included

USA

San Francisco Bay Area, including Sausalito
San Jose
Yosemite National Park
