Cast Photos Contributed to TV (i.e. Chromecast support urgently needed in Gooogle Maps)

I have a VERY important feature request. I often demo my photography pics to a group of people on a TV using Chromecast to cast it to my TV. I would really like Google to add the ability to cast the pictures directly from the Google Maps Photos Contribution tab. It will make it much more useful. I don't like casting my whole phone screen, it is often not appropriate. The feature exists with the Google Photos and YouTube I don't know why Google hasn't thought about adding it to the Google Maps contribution photos. I take high quality DSLR pics and would really like to be able to display this on a 50+ inch TV using a casting feature. Come on Google! We are contributing good quality pictures, you really need to think about us and giving us the ability to display this. I really hope this gets implemented. As much as I like reviewing occasionally, I am a photographer and that is my hobby, help me display this to the world. Thanks.

Hi @ulimmeh the best way to suggest this feature is to the Send Feedback option within the Maps App.

 

I will move your post to the feedback board here on Connect.

Ok thanks for letting me know. I really hope this gets implemented at some point. It is a great way to present your pics to a group of people on a large TV screen. Especially if you are a photographer like me.

@PaulPavlinovich this is like our little travel guide and a way to showcase parts of our photography to the world.
