Google Introducing a new feature toGoogle Street View. Where its Street View car cannot photograph and document, it will welcome user content that will enrich its original content, and it can do this using content that users share on its social network, Google Plus.
In practice, the service's maps are filled with red dots that mark photos of social network users who have taken and tagged themselves in various places around the world. This gives Google valuable, free content.
The service is called Views, or in Hebrew "טצווגוט", and this is what Google writes about the service: "Views is a Google Maps community where you can share photos that help other people explore the world and decide where they want to go.".

The panoramic photos can be uploaded by those who take photos on Android devices directly to the app or by those who take photos in Google's Photo Sphere app for Apple devices.
How to use the feature? Connect to Google services; go to Views; click on the orange icon with the camera; any photo uploaded without privacy restrictions to Google Plus can be manually dragged and a red marker attached to it that will indicate its exact location on the world map.
