Into Google has also mapped on Venice Street View. The ambitious project took place in the months of April and May this year, when the Street View team members have worked with two cameras “trekker”. The Trekker, which weighs about 20 kg and is four meters high, take a photo every 2.5 seconds, with a collection of images in 360 degrees is carried out. To capture a picturesque view of the city from the water, the Trekker cameras were positioned along the canals by boat, to an aspect of the project dubbed “Google Gondola.” Browse the most picturesque canals in the world? That’s it. Everything is at your fingertips .. or perhaps it would be more correct to say click. We’re talking about Google Street View. Even a fascinating place like Venice you can “navigate” virtually and conveniently on your smartphone, PC or tablet.

Into In order to capture inaccessible places, Google has created Trekker to allow you to collect images to remote and difficult to reach. Some of the other places that have been recently explored by the team of Google Trekker include the Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon Basin, the Everest and the Grand Canyon. It seemed an impossible challenge to “map” also on Venice Street View, but the American giant has succeeded in this endeavor. Google employees, who have spent two months traveling around the city with a camera, they also added the famous Italian city among the most fascinating places mapped. From today you can walk to Piazza San Marco, cross the Rialto Bridge or go for a walk along the Grand Canal of Venice via your computer or smartphone.
