Google has asked South Africans to vote for their favourite place in South Africa in an effort to add new locations and landmarks to Google Street View. Google said the following:

"Since we launched Street View in South Africa, we've received suggestions for new locations and landmarks that people in South Africa would like to see addded. We're working hard to bring Street View to new places, but some important tourist spots, like historic monuments or scenic views, can't be reached by car. That's why we've created the Google Trike, a mechanical masterpiece comprising 3 bicycle wheels, a mounted Street View camera, and a very athletic cyclist in customised Google apparel.

The Google Trike will soon be coming to South Africa to make some special image collections. Google is asking you vote on your favourite places that the trike should visit in South Africa.

To help line up all the best ideas, Google has teamed up with South African Tourism, with its unrivaled knowledge of South Africa's tourist treasures, to create a shortlist of some of the country's best attractions. The categories are Sports; Nature & Panorama; and History & Heritage.

Voting will be open for a limited time, and we'll then let the public know the top 3 winning locations that the Trike will visit first.

As we only collect images from public roads, we'll work closely with the relevant organizations to collect images of privately-owned locations.
