6. Google Street View of Waikato River
Enjoy the first online 360-degree view of a New Zealand river – the mighty Waikato River. The Google Street Trekker travelled the length of New Zealand's longest river, the Waikato, using 15 cameras taking photos every two-and-a-half seconds. It then used the imagery to create a 360-degree virtual tour of the 425km river from Port Waikato to Lake Taupō.
