After Google Street View now comes Trail View

With Street View, Google has launched a technology that many people can no longer imagine everyday life without. Now the search engine giant is venturing off-road and launching Trail View. In this country, it has teamed up with the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) for this purpose.

For the time being, the approaches to the SAC huts will be recorded. To do this, hikers will be out and about with an 18-kilogram camera backpack and record the routes. This will make it possible to create full panorama images that viewers can later move through interactively. Google has not (yet) announced when the data will be available and whether other routes will also be recorded. Such trail recordings from the Grand Canyon in the USA are already available.
