1. Google has taken the layout of the world and digitally transformed it into something useful that people can access easily every day. By compiling all different kinds of data from several different outlets, it has put together a realistic and advanced map that covers over five million miles of the Earth. People from google drove all around the world with cameras on top of their cars to give the maps authentic street view images.
Apps like Google Maps have thoroughly developed to help people with the navigation of different areas. Google Maps appeared on smartphones when the first iPhone came out, transforming the way people used and viewed maps. Since Google Maps first came out as an app, many people have tried to copy the idea and have come up with new apps of their own.
Google Maps offers street view images of cities and streets and it has also collected views of places cars cannot drive to. It offers beautiful views of places unseen by many.
2. Although having the street view imaging on maps can be very helpful to see where you are going, it can also be distracting. It is hard to use the street view imaging while driving because it takes the attention away from driving and more on how to get to the place you need to be.
3. I watched the video about Kenya’s Samburu Park, and I am astounded by how they used camels to record the street views. In the article, they also mentioned that they used the street camera to see a lot of other animals such as elephants. It is amazing that the use of animals can help aid the universe in locational diagnostics.
