Google Streetview at the Olympics – Not Just On The Street

So we all know Google is extremely innovative. From Google Voice to Google Wave, the company is full of new ideas that blur the line between just ideas and reality.

Google Maps revolutionized the way people look at geography and get their directions. With Streetview, people can view their favorite city from the perspective of being on the ground.

With the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver starting tomorrow, (Friday, February 12) Google has once again pushed the envelope and has created street views of not just the Olympic sites that are viewable by their cars, but also the ski slopes. They have a new snowmobile that takes viewers on a new an exciting visual journey down the slopes of Whistler, BC where the ski events are being held.

Check out the Google video all about this new feature:
