Google adds 19 Dutch national parks to Street View
Dutch natural heritage organisation Natuurmonumenten and Google have joined forces to add 19 of the Netherlands’ most beautiful areas of countryside to the Street View collection.
Volunteers used a 20 kilo portable camera with 15 lenses to photograph the island of Schieermonnikoog, the Eerde country estate and Sint Pietersberg near Maastricht among others.
Each lens takes a photograph every two seconds, allowing a 360 degree image of the reserve to be built up. ‘It was quite a project but it has worked, thanks to our volunteers,’ Natuurmonumenten spokesman Jeffrey van Heck told the Telegraaf.
