Google Maps: Making the World Smaller

I'm a super Google user. Not just the search engine, but also Gmail, Google Drive, Analytics, Voice, Music, News and Maps. 

If you missed the news last week of Google mapping the Grand Canyon, then I'm here to show you what being there must feel like.

Google took their "cars" off the road and put them on the backs of hikers. The company is mapping the routes in the canyon and the experience, from at least my couch, is pretty awesome.

Google Maps is releasing panoramic imagery of one of the world's most spectacular national monuments: the Grand Canyon. These Street View images cover more than 75 miles of trails and surrounding roads, making our map of this area even more comprehensive, accurate and easy to use than ever before.
