Google Street View Backpack Now Available To Volunteers 108

It's not just for obscure Japanese islands anymore: reader NobleSavage writes with news that "If you're a tourism board, non-profit, university, research organization or other third party who can gain access and help collect imagery of hard to reach places, you can apply to borrow the Trekker and help map the world." You can also help map the world (albeit without the very neat Trekker backpack cam) without an application process via OpenStreetMap. But if you had access to a panoramic camera like this, what places or spaces would you want to capture? I hope there will be street view imagery of Petra, but I don't see any yet.

    How about you go fuck yourself you wanna be racist murderer.

    The OP's comment was not racist nor did he threaten to harm anyone.

    The OP merely pointed out that the Google van was trespassing.

    You, on the other hand, are an irrational idiot with severe
    mental health issues.

Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
