How sheep with cameras got some tiny islands onto Google Street View

Love this idea. Now I am wondering why google doesn't have an app to allow individuals to update google street view content themselves. My house was built this year and the maps still don't show the road or the new houses. I would love being able to walk around the neighborhood with my phone and get an updated map, at least until the real google car comes by.

Faroe Islands Translate is also another stunt by them to get their language into google translate <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.faroeislandstranslate.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.faroeislandstranslate.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m having a job finding the sheep footage on Google Maps. There&#x27;s some footpath shots here that seem human filmed <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;maps&#x2F;@62.1045372,-7.4263828,3a,75y,90h,90t&#x2F;data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfN0d_0ANzhc-p-3gbYOUjw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;maps&#x2F;@62.1045372,-7.4263828,3a,75y,90...</a>

This makes the radio transponder I put on my cat look totally amateur by comparison. I need to step up my game.

Shameless plug: our company (tensorflight.com) works on extracting building information from a few sources including street view. E.g. we extract a number of stories building have based on street view image. Please get in touch at kozikow@tensorflight.com if you have any idea for the collaboration.

Reading the headline, I thought they used iPhone users, but it turned out to be actual sheep with cameras.<p>Anyway, like the article says, it is mostly a PR stunt, and I&#x27;m not very impressed.

Thanks Google, but...<p>There&#x27;s plenty of public roads in my hometown that still don&#x27;t have Street View.<p>Speaking of mapping, I find that Microsoft&#x27;s 45 degree satellite (aircraft?) imagery is much more useful than straight down imagery.

Good thing they didn&#x27;t use mountain goats, otherwise people would be thinking that a 3cm wide ledge a hundred meters up is a good hiking trail to use.

So after the sheep did some recording for us, the punchline is that they were enslaved, slaughtered, and consumed? Ha ha ha. I&#x27;m not sure how this is supposed to be amusing. Not to say that this article should be a PETA champion, but it&#x27;s a pretty profound example of human arrogance and a complete lack of empathy.
