Since these photographs were taken from a motor vehicle, they have, until now, not been available for off-road areas such as cycle paths and canal tow paths, but this is about to change since Google have now mounted cameras on a pedal powered trike.
It will take a while before we can see our own NCN Routes on Google Earth but if the guy is cycling at the speed of this video, it won't be so long.
If you see him coming, might be as well to stand to one side, although in compensation you will be immortalised on video.

It makes one wonder what he does when confronted with stiles, kissing gates or sections of track which are knee deep in mud.
Ah - forgot to tell you, they also have a backpack camera set-up which a walker carries.
And one on a snowmobile!
And they mount the trike on the roof of a boat which is covering the River Amazon no less. Might take a while to do that one.
They have also recorded part of the Rhaetian Railway in Switzerland, using a trike propelled on a flat wagon.
