Vote for the Hennepin Canal trail to be on Google

Google just released information about its addition to the "Street View" on its website.  If you haven't used this feature, in addition to a drawn map of an area, there is an option to toggle to a 360 degree photographic image of a specific spot on a map.  How Google did this was they had special cars that drove every inch of a set of roads, continuously taking 360 degree photographic images.  The problem was that of course they can't drive cars on trails like the Hennepin Canal trail, or the I&M Canal trail.   But that changes with the inspired, trail-ready "Google Trike".

This is a great use of technology, note how I had to "manually" make my own survey of the Hennepin Canal and its trail and bridges (to assess the the canal's waterway for a marathon ice skate) see the other tabs of this website for more information and photos, or follow the link to the Flickr show

Google's off-road, trail addition to its "Street View" is a better solution. 

Check out the video about Google's new trike, and then follow the link to "vote" for the Hennepin and / or the I&M Canal trail.  Voting continues until October 28, so vote now!
