HAWAII IS ON THE MAP

In a partnership with Google Maps, the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB) will begin mapping out the interior of the Hawaiian Islands using the company’s Street View Trekker equipment to collect 360-degree images showcasing parts of the destination not accessible by car. The HVCB has enlisted the help of Kailua-Kona based Hawaii Forest and Trail to launch the initial phase of the project on Hawaii, the Big Island featuring more than 20 popular and well-maintained state and national park trails across the island, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Akaka Falls State Park, and Pololu Valley. Hawaii Forest and Trail is tracking its progress on Hawaii Island with a new blog. Check it out at http://blog.hawaii-forest.com .
