Newark campus featured in Google Street View

4:07 p.m., Jan. 12, 2012--Pedestrians on the University of Delaware's main campus can start Googling their routes. Google Maps’ Street View feature now includes 360-degree images of UD's Newark campus.

Previously, the University appeared as an undefined block on Google Maps because the service gathered Street View imagery only by cars driving on public roads.  Google took its technology to places cars can’t venture, including UD’s brick pathways, by mounting cameras on three-wheeled pedicabs called trikes.
