It has long been known that Google is conducting a detailed panoramic survey of the Grand Canyon. On Habré, the first news about this began to appear around October last year. Now, after a few months of hard work, all the resulting panoramas are shared. So anyone can take a virtual tour of the Grand Canyon.
Panoramas allow you to see the most interesting parts of this region, including the most attractive places for tourists. In general, a virtual walk can not be compared with a real journey. But as a cognitive (well, or entertaining) Google panorama tool is a great option. ')
When shooting, of course, not all the usual Google Maps were used, but the special Trekker cameras that Google employees dragged behind them in backpacks (the weight of such a backpack, full of equipment, reached 20 kg). But the project team turned out to be quite satisfied with the task that fell to its lot, with which it coped in full.
Sorry, the Habr parser does not allow you to insert panoramic views of the Canyon, but you can find all this at this link .
