Now all we need are the back roads photographed.  Google would have to get into some four-wheel action.  Unlike the Google camera-equipped vehicle shown in this link:

Google takes its map cam for a spin on biking, hiking trails

Now Google Maps is expanding to biking and hiking trails. A Google employee on a tricycle rides around to snap the same wide-area views.

Makes me happy that high-tech titan Google uses low-tech tricycles to accomplish their (evil) aims.
