Sheep Persuasion - Purpose Two


Earlier this twelvemonth around eager mappers started a petition appealing to Google to add together Street View imagery inwards the Faroe Islands. Instead of waiting for Google to reply to the petition, around of the islanders every bit good decided to get-go collecting their ain 360 score panoramic imagery.

The Faroe Islands may non bring Google Street View simply it does bring a lot of sheep. The logical stride thus was to deck out the islands' sheep amongst 360 score panoramic cameras. So the Faroe Islands invented Google Sheep View.

Google has non nonetheless responded to the Faroe Islands petition. Which way that Mapillary, the crowdsourced  street photograph mapping project, has had to stride inwards to fill upwardly inwards the gaps inwards Sheep View.


This summertime Mapillary employee Peter Neubauer together with his boy traveled to the Faroe Islands, seat on their sheep costumes, together with began capturing street photos of the Faroe Islands (some of this powerfulness non survive true).

You tin read to a greater extent than nigh how they captured the novel street bird photos of the Faroe Islands on the Mapillary weblog post, Photo Mapping the Faroe Islands. You tin every bit good explore the imagery yourself on the Mapillary map or on Peter's photograph even out of A Father-Son Mapping Trip.
