Google Street Views takes to a tricycle

Google's map-makers turn to a custom Google Trike to reach those nooks and crannies around the globe.

Google Maps Hard-to-Reach Areas Using a Tricycle.



Google is mapping the world one street at a time. However, some of those locations are not conducive to cars, let alone the Google Street Views van or even a small car. Locations like Europe pose an extra challenge — how to navigate all of those tightly packed, tourist-clogged cobblestone street in historic city centres?

Well, for all of those hard-to-reach areas, Google’s tactical strategy becomes obvious thanks to a handful of images that have surfaced today. The Google Street Views Car is replaced by the Google Street Views Trike (seen above).Also see Strangest Sights in Google Street Views" and The Wild Side of Google Street View"
