The Nature Valley Trail View is a beautiful map of trails in some of America's national parks. The map includes a number of trails, each of which can be experienced with a glorious animated custom Street View tour. If you click on the menu link you can select any of the trails and then virtually walk the trail with custom Street Views of the whole trail.
Each tour includes an option to animate a walk on the trail, so you can just sit back and watch as you walk the trail with custom Street Views. Below the Street View is an altitude graph and a compass rose is also provided.

In October of last year Visit Victoria launched a five day campaign to promote the city of Melbourne. Melbourne Remote Control Tourist allowed potential tourists around the world to experience the city online in real-time by controlling and directing a number of remote controlled tourists around Melbourne.
The remote controlled tourists were kitted out with helmet-mounted cameras and could be instructed where to go and what to visit via Twitter and Facebook. The Melbourne Remote Control Tourist website included live broadcasts of the video and audio feeds from the remote controlled tourists.
The campaign has now finished but you can still view selected videos captured during the five days. You can also explore the Remote Control Tourist Google Map of Melbourne which features a categorized selection of the city's best restaurants, bars, cafes and sights
