GT Summary:

Ground Truth (GT) project is envisioned to deliver Google created map data for 40+

Developed countries in NA and Western Europe resulting in multimillion dollar cost savings in terms of license fee while providing flexibility to Google product teams to develop great Geo products. Through this initiative, we acquire high-quality map data from authoritative sources around the world and then apply a mix of advanced algorithms, supplemental data (including satellite, aerial and Street View imagery), and human input to create a map that corresponds as closely as possible to the real-world facts that you’d find if you were to visit that location. Apart from Eng, PM (Product Management) and SPD (Strategic Partner Development), GT Operations is one of the key stakeholders in delivering high quality Geo data under extremely stringent timelines.

Collectively we have launched 40+ countries, which will account for more than 48% of Page Views on maps.google.com.

GT Ops in HYD contributed more than 90% of mapping in these countries.

Timely and high quality Ops work ensured that all countries data got accepted for launch with no quality regression.

Due to strict timelines and infrastructural resource constraints, tighter process controls, to ensure process/policy consistency and high data quality, GT Ops in Hyderabad works 7 days across 3 shifts (including an evening shift), coordinates with four Google offices (Ops sites) and 4 Engineering offices working in 4 different time zones.
