Google innovations
Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views from various positions along many streets in the world. For hard to reach areas, Google launched Street View using a tricycle to reach beyond public streets onto hiking trails, amusement parks, historical landmarks, parks and gardens. Google is using a 250-pound, 9-foot-long, human-powered trikes with a 7-foot stalk of cameras. The same 360-degree cameras are used on snowmobiles, too. Paul Sakuma, Associated Press
