Google Adds User Photos to Street View

Google Street View (part of Google Maps) can optionally now show you user contributed photos of various popular locations grabbed from Google owned Panoramio.

In Google’s words, the new feature

“allows you to explore on a level that our cameras can’t go…”

To view the photos, simply browse to a relatively popular location like Times Square, drag the little man icon on the left on to the map and click on the photos icon to the top right of the screen.

Here’s a short video explaining the new feature:

Thank you Google Operating System.
