Google Street View Trekker will show the beauty of the Grand Canyon

Trekker гуляет по Большому Каньону

Google announced the dispatch of an expedition team of photographers equipped with cameras Street View Trekker . The guys will walk the paths of the Grand Canyon (USA). According to the company, this is the first "official walk of the Trekker camera".

For the first time, a new portable camera was shown earlier this year at the Google Maps 3D event. If earlier to transport the equipment Street View had to use additional vehicles, but today the whole system is placed in a normal backpack. In addition to Street View cars for photographing public parks, university territories and Antarctica, Google used tricycles, equipped carts and snowmobiles. Even there was a case where the Street View camera traveled by train across the expanses of Switzerland.

Unfortunately, Google did not tell when new photos of the Grand Canyon will appear on the Google Maps service. Let's hope that it will not take long to wait. By the way, you can control the Trekker from Android-smartphone.
