Apparently they are setting up hikers to go where cars can't so to make StreetView more 'complete'.
Good job if they are offering but you'd have to be fit to haul around that gear I'd reckon.

The search giant is sending camera-equipped planes out over several cities and dispatching hikers with camera backpacks to beef up its Maps service for areas that aren't easily reached by its Street View cars.

I'd rather be a Google StreetWalker than the other kind - at least I'd earn some mun.

They should strike a deal with some Geocachers- therefore they would get the interesting places covered quickly

Why bother going outside, if you can get some other poor bugger to do it and you sit at home and do it virtually? I don't really see a reason or purpose for it other than one-upmanship.
