Google Trekker captures over 9,500 panoramic Grand Canyon pics for Maps

Google Maps unveiled panoramic imagery of the Grand Canyon today.

According to Google’s official Lat-Long blog, the Maps team captured the imagery collection of more than 9,500 panoramas by strapping on Trekkers, or “Android-operated 40-pound backpacks carrying the 15-lens camera system,” as they called it, and walked the rocky terrain on foot.

The collection includes famous views like Bright Angel Trail, Colorado River, and South Kaibab Trail. A few of them are available on the World Wonders website with more information, facts, and figures about the Grand Canyon.
