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.

Issues
MapJack was criticized for taking unedited imagery of Pattaya, known as Thailand's "sin city." On May 28, 2008, MapJack temporarily removed Pattaya imagery from its site, and is planning to edit out the controversial imagery prior to reinstating it[2][3][4][5].
