Google Looking For Groups To Provide The Next Hikers To Don Trekker Street View Backpack

IMG_6111Google is trying hard to build out its Street View-style imagery of locales off the beaten path with its Trekker program.

Google is now looking for applicants to help it continue to expand its Trekker efforts.
