Nebraska Senator, Google Map-Maker
Ever heard of Nebraskan treasures like Fort Robinson State Park, the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer, and Carhenge? If not, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has the Web page for you. I can't vouch for the parks or museums, but the recreation of Stonehenge from American-made automobiles is supremely cool.
Google's Public Policy Blog reports that the lawmaker, who previously used Google's MyMaps tool to create a virtual tour of his trip to Iraq, launched two new Google-fueled projects to promote tourism in his state -- one featuring state and federal parks and the other highlighting "popular and uniquely Nebraska attractions."
The maps, posted just in time for the summer vacation season, will help visitors "learn about 'the good life' we live in Nebraska," according to Nelson's Web site.
