Google Maps Street View on Trails?
« on: April 12, 2018, 08:53:15 pm »
I was just poking around and found some trails in Chicagoland that actually had street views of trails or multiuse paths.  I wasn't aware that was being done!  Are they hiring cyclists to video bike trails?  Where do I sign up?

I don't know how you get the jobs but they also do underwater areas, trains, walking trails through national monuments, certain rivers, etc.  The camera though is a massive thing.  Looks to be about 1 foot around and on top of a 4' pole for cyclists.

Yes. I heard a while back that they launched a program to include trails.

Just looked the D&R Feeder Canal Trail on Street View and, sure enough, it's available. Neat!
