Designer Edge Image of the Day – 6-26-13 – Google Maps the Burj Kalifa

We’re all familiar with Google Maps and its Street View feature. Well, now Google is extending the reach of their Street View maps to give everyone access to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.

Standing some 2,176 feet tall the Burj Khalifa took Google 3 days to map with their mobile Trekker backpacks. From the ground floor to the observation deck near the tip of its spire you can now navigate every hallway and passage of this amazing feat of architectural engineering.

Take a Behind the Scenes Look at the Making of the Burj Khalifa Map:
