Google Streetview Trekker Projects

Google recently started producing Streetview images for off-road tracks like hiking trails, ski slopes, mountain biking tracks, etc. If you want to get involved in helping to map for South Africa, check out the details as published by Google here - http://goo.gl/SJjB8


"Thanks for your interest in helping us capture panoramic images from all types of terrain and landscapes using our Street View Trekker! We’ve kicked off a limited pilot program enabling third parties to borrow our Trekker equipment and take it to amazing places around the world that they know and love.
If you represent an organization such as a tourism board, non-profit, government agency, university or research group that would like to take photos with the Trekker for future inclusion on Google Maps, please fill out this form. Tell us more about your proposed locations and upcoming trips, and we’ll get back to you if/when there’s an opportunity for us to partner with you on a Trekker collection. Thanks!"

A great example of what they have done to date is illustrated by the Google Map and Streetview screenshots of a ski resort in Colorado.


Why not get involved to capture Streetview for Table Mountain, Agrabies Falls, etc.
