User photos in Street View

Fri 27 February 2009 12:26, Bas van den Beld

Google announced Wednesday that the Street View feature of Google Maps is expanded with user photos.The photos are provided by Panoramio.

Panoramio offers photos from major landmarks around the world. When you visit for example Paris you can see user generated photos of the Eiffel Tower or the Notre Dame.

Not only Paris can be visited, also for example New York, San Francisco, Rome, Tokyo, Barcelona, Sydney and New Zealand.

See the video below to find out what you can see.

It seems after few days Google will add pictures of each individual house and also the members in the house. Any Ways Glad to know about street view feature, so that people can find the addresses more easily to reach their destination.

Thanks

It is interesting to see Google make this step, really it is about time they did and start to tie in all of the pictures they currently have positioned on Google Maps. Looks a bit like a simpler version of Microsoft’s Photosynth which is worth checking out and playing with at http://livelabs.com/photosynth/ Also I would recommend having a look at what I call Super Google Street View which is www.everyscape.com it shows how advertising can be introduced in the future to street view maps.
