It’s 2025 and I’m nonetheless blown away by Google Street View. You’re telling me that I can sort in virtually any tackle—within the United States, or Japan, or wherever—and see what’s round with out really being there? Amazing. I exploit it a fairly a bit after I’m writing blogs for this right here web site, and due to a current Ford collab with Google, I received’t be so confined to regular metropolis streets anymore. That’s as a result of a crew of Blue Oval autos just lately drove all the 5,900-mile TransAmerica path system, led by a Bronco with a Street View digicam on high.

Now, clearly, the TransAmerica Trail is a giant’n. The Ford fleet’s trek throughout 13 states took 35 days altogether. They began in Port Orford, Oregon, and resulted in Nags Head, North Carolina, after driving over all types of terrain to get the job executed: sandy seashores on the WEst Coast, slickrock in Utah, gravel and jagged rocks in… plenty of different states.

They even journeyed by means of my neck of the woods within the Ozarks. If it’s on the TransAmerica path, Ford and Google logged it.

Obviously, that is good advertising for the Bronco because it drove the entire path, however so did a Ranger and an Expedition Tremor. I suppose it’s good to know you’ll be able to take the entire household. Just be sure to comply with the Tread Lightly principles like Ford did right here.

This will inevitably turn out to be useful for me when some goober in a Cybertruck will get royally caught on the path and I’m tasked with writing about it. If you’re such a goober, suppose forward and plan your route utilizing Street View first.
