MapJack is a map feature introduced in 2007 that is similar to Google Street View, but has less coverage than Google Street View. Its headquarters is in Hong Kong.[2] The site currently provides these types of views of various locations in Thailand.
The website was originally written in Adobe Flash, but has since been updated to modern web standards, using a WebGL powered panorama viewer.
