Memphis & Google
Go to google maps. Then find the zoo. Then go to street view. You can "walk" around the zoo -- virtually, of course. 03-wink

Memphis Is Awesome Alert: Google Trekker Memphis Is Live Today

Quote:Memphis is one of only a very few cities who have participated in the Street View Trekker Loan Program, which means we're ahead of the curve on this kind of technology. It's just yet another reason to love Memphis.

What is the Google Maps Street View Trekker, exactly? It's a 40-pound backpack with a mounted camera that captures panoramic images from anywhere the wearer can walk. The images are stitched together for a complete 360 view of the area and made available when anyone in the world clicks on that area on Street View in Google Maps.

The Loan Program allowed the Memphis CVB to borrow the Trekker equipment and capture locations from around the city.

Here are some of the places in Memphis that the world can now virtually visit. Click on the links to see Google Trekker in action:
Memphis Riverfront
Graceland
Memphis Zoo
Shelby Farms Park
Overton Park
Rhodes College

Pretty neat. Kinda funny that the software blurs even the animals' faces.
