Angkor Wat Added to Google Street View

For the armchair traveler. Story here. Soon one will never have to leave home to travel the world thanks to virtual reality.

And while I’m at it, there’s some good drone footage of Cambodia here.

they had one of those camera units on an elephant.

A tuskcam!

Very disappointting trend by Streetview. The whole idea of Google Streetview was to enable users to see parts of a country that are NOT already easily found in many other sources. Angkor Wat is the only thing in Cambodia that anybody has ever seen a picture of, and it still is, thanks to this complete waste of an amazing resource… What would be the value of streetview, if in the USA it only showed things like Mount Rushmore and the Washington Monument? I guess it could have been easily predicted that the greatest of developments will be quickly watered down to appeal mainly to Twitter users.
