Google Adding Trails to Street View

Google is taking Street View to biking and hiking trails, USA Today reports. Instead of a car with a camera mounted on the roof, Google employees are using “a modified three-wheeled bike, like the ones used to take tourists for a spin, with a huge antenna and camera on back.” I can think of a few hiking trails that would stymie such a contraption. Only one bike trail in Monterey, California is available right now; trikes are currently working trails in California, Italy and Great Britain. Via the Google Maps Twitter feed.
