So I was recently made aware of this and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it...
Apparently Google is equipping "Trekkers" to go out into the backcountry and get street view style 360 photos of the trails that we all love to hike. On the one hand, it could have a great affect on the backcountry world and possibly even getting people to be more proactive in protecting our beautiful backcountry.
On the other hand, if it draws a bunch of people out onto the trail who don't know anything about LNT it could really have a negative impact on it.
I'm curious to hear what you think...
Here's a link to an article that talks about it: http://www.lovethebackcountry.com/become-one-google-trekkers/
