I consider Google maps a wonderful platform for photo sharing. What I love the most is contributing in a more visual way posting some pictures from places I have been. This has encouraged me to invest in my passion for photography, even buying a new camera and taking a course for amateur photographers. This is one of the features that helps other people and travelers have a better idea of what to expect of the places they are going to. You know what they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words”.
