Google Adds New Images to Street View Through Wearable Camera



Early this month, Google brought street view to Egypt, as well as other places in the middle East, which covered many historical places. Due to lack of tourism within these regions within the past couple years, this may be the only way some people may see these sights.

The images that Google has obtained from these beautiful landmarks cannot be taken by Google Street View cars. That being said, these images were captured with a Trekker; a large backpack, with a large camera on the top. Due to the Trekker, Google can now see tourist sites, go down pathways, and other places that you couldn't see from a car.

Google is now lending Trekkers to the public (click here to see how) in order to get more Street View images from all around the world.
