Mini Street View filmed with tiny cameras

Google Maps goes beyond day-to-day navigation; you can tour art galleries, navigate the vertical climes of Yosemite and even catch Pokemon. Now, for the first time, Street View is getting distinctly smaller.Using a modified camera, Google has created a 360-degree map of Miniatur Wunderland in Germany -- the world's largest miniature railway.
Boasting 13,000km of track and 200,000 exceptionally well-behaved citizens, Miniatur Wunderland contains tiny reconstructions of Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Hamburg Airport. At the heart of the display is Knuffingen, a fictional city in the depths of the Swiss Alps. Rustic markets, casinos and airports are all recreated in incredible detail.
