Imagine a world where you can explore the colorful underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, take a trip down the Amazon Basin, climb Mt. Everest, journey down a small path in the Grand Canyon, or even visit the Kennedy Space Center without ever leaving your home.
Well thanks to Google Treks, you can.
Google has spent a lot of time and human hours mapping some of the more remote areas of the globe with its Trekker program, and now we have a chance to go behind the scenes and learn more about both those places and the process.
Google put up a new site complete with video, amazing images, maps and audio and visual tours. Besides being an awesome time-killer for when you have some hours to spare, the Trek microsites give Google a way to show off a number of its products all in one place. It combines YouTube, Maps, Maps tours, HTML5 web technologies, slideshows and more.
