Google Street View extending coverage to off-road spots like Stonehenge

LONDON - Internet road mapping service Google Street View is now starting to cover areas like Stonehenge, which are far away from driving routes.

Rickshaw-style tricycles, carrying 3-D cameras, will be used to film several popular off-road spots, including Loch Ness and the Angel of the North, reports the Telegraph.

Street View allows web users to “walk” along streets, exploring 360-degree images recorded from eye level.

People in 25 British towns and cities can access 360-degree views of roads and homes via this application.

Street View also includes photographs of millions of residential addresses, people and cars.

It has been hailed as a helpful tool for home hunters and would-be tourists. (ANI)
