 Poster: A snowHead
|
A few years ago I was enjoying a relaxing ski around Grand Montets when a skidoo went passed me saying Google on the side.
We asked what was going on and the guy on the skidoo said they were taking footage for Google Maps to add pistes onto the web.
That same year I saw an article saying this was on the way.
Where can I see this or did Google not release it?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

They have mapped many resorts. Just find the resort on google maps and select street view

Loads of Pisteview resorts (and lifts/pistes marked on google maps too). Dolomites has been there at least 2 years. Can even work out the time of day the camera went round (iirc about 7am before the lifts opened, there, but other places may vary).
It does get slightly confused in places where the piste goes thru a tunnel under a road. Sometimes when you hit a "go forward" arrow, it suddenly jumps to summer.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Well it works on Whistler. Been there for years. Just drag the Streetview chap(es) on to a run (it turns blue just like streets do when it is a mapped one, a few not mapped) and let go.
Then it works just like street view would on a street.
You do have to hit the blue bit quite accurately.
If a run does not turn blue then they have not done that resort yet.

google used to allow joe public to do their own streetview. So maybe it was amateur?
Google quite often rejected them, to the point where I dont think they bother with it anymore themselves.
