Google Brings Street View to Hiking Trails
Going where no 40 pound backpack-mounted multi-lens video camera has gone be
fore, Google has announced that it is bringing its Street View maps to a hik
ing trail near you.
"You’ve seen our cars, trikes, snowmobiles and trolleys—but wheels only ge
t you so far. There’s a whole wilderness out there that is only accessible
by foot," wrote Brian McClendon, Vice President of Engineering for Google Ma
ps on the company's Lat Long Blog on June 6.
Called Street View Trekker, the new technology will be photographing nationa
l parks, canyons and historic places. The backpack will contain the big eyeb
all that hovers above the backpack with 15 cameras, a hard drive and a batte
ry pack that will run for one or two days. |
