From what I’ve heard Ed took very little with him, and I dare say travelling through a forest and not along the river it may not have been of too much use!

But thanks for pointing out the Google are doing this, it is certainly interesting that this is being done – maybe in a few years there will be simulator rides down the Amazon! or maybe it could be used to monitor changes in the river and forest, that is if they did this exercise say once a year.

You were only joking but Google aren’t, they are now taking SteetView to the Amazon!

I wonder if Ed Stafford would have found it useful?

There is no official word from Google about the date for when the mountain trail "street view" will go live. After studying the sherpa-cam photo above, we suspect that Google will need to address issues of photo wobble caused by trying to balance the camera on top of the sherpa's sleeping mat.

The sherpa cam is a really good idea, I was really disappointed to try google maps and Everest wasn’t on yet. Any idea when it will go on?
