From the Giant General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park to Downtown Visalia or Allensworth State Park -- internet surfers can now get a 360 degree look at the county's website.
The detailed videos are the result of hundreds of professional photos. People can zoom into the photos and scroll up and down. Officials hope this new interactive map will attract tourists and new business.
Allen Ishida said, "To be the locations of new businesses if people moving to this area or looking to put their site here they don't know what is here. If they have enough attractions here for the people who work for them it's a lot easier to recruit."
Eric Coyne said, "The fact that you can interact with it. If you're looking at a sequoia you can pan up and down and see just how big that tree is if you're looking at a river you can see what's on the shore."
The new interactive map will be linked to Tulare County's website starting Wednesday.
