Notes:
- Source: Vox.com – Awesome photos show how Google is using a camel to map deserts. When Google wants to create its Street View maps — the ones that show the buildings and sidewalks that line the world’s streets — it sends a funny-looking car with a camera on top off to capture the footage. Those StreetView cars work great in places where there are roads. But in the world’s more remote locations — a desert in Abu Dhabi, lets say — vehicles don’t cut it. Enter Raffia, the camel carrying a camera across the Liwa oasis to produce more Google Maps.
