Have you photographed a nice diner or have you photographed an attraction that you want to share with the world? Add your own photos to Google Maps to inspire others or show the way.Photos on Google maps
In addition to Streetview photos and photos uploaded by the owner, anyone who searches for a location on Google Maps will also see photos of others. For example, at a hotel these are photos that hotel guests have taken of their room, photos of the surroundings or a photo of a dish or the menu. Handy, because this way you not only get to see the beautiful pictures, but also a photo of a dirty bathroom of a critical hotel guest. You can also upload images yourself and help other people.
