Rainy River Roads Going to the Web

Some of the streets in the Rainy River district may soon find their way to Google Streetview.

Google is currently taking panoramic photographs of areas streets for its Google Maps Internet search site.

Spokesperson Tamara Micner says they're trying to take photographs in as many communities as they can.

"We usually do in any country where we're collecting street view images is start with the larger centres which as the most relevant to our user," says Micner, "and then we go from there and try to cover as much area as we can."

Micner says Google has hired local contractors to take the photos.

No word when they will appear on the web.
