Through the eyes of Google

THE Gold Coast has joined the likes of the Swiss Alps, the Eiffel Tower, Machu Picchu and Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan on Google Street View. 

For the first time, tourists and nature lovers can venture off-road to explore 360 degree views of the region’s most beautiful and remote locations, with some only accessible by foot. Over 40 world-class natural attractions have been captured with the Google Street View Trekker and will feature on Google Street View from April.

Google Translate . . . Japanese

THE Google Translate app’s Word Lens tool app tool allows users to point their mobile phone cameras at simple Japanese text such as menus, road-signs and labels to view an instant translation on-screen.

One major advantage is that the app does not require any connectivity - such as data or internet connection - in order to use, allowing users to utilize their phones as a portable dictionary without incurring any roaming charges or connection fees.
