Google's street-view camera car was spotted Tuesday morning on U.S. 13 near New Castle Airport, heading toward Wilmington.

Recently, Google sent Google Trekker Operator Alberto Elias to southern Delaware to capture scenes of the beach towns.

Elias, along with Patty Burkentine, a membership representative with the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce, strolled the beaches and streets. Elias was wearing a backpack with a long pole that had about 15 cameras on it taking pictures as they traveled, she said.

Trekker is Google's newest camera platform, according to Google spokeswoman Susan Cadrecha in an email message. She described it as a wearable backpack with a camera system of 15 lenses on top, each pointed in a different direction and specifically designed to capture 360 degree views of remote places or spots only accessible by foot.
