Adding pictures to bike trails?

Hey, guys, I am planning a photo walk in my city and I would like to know if there is a way to add photos to trails on maps marked as walking or biking trails?

Hi KeiranCG,

 

Unfortunately you can only add photos to a feature -- also known as a Point Of Interest (POI).

 

Walking trails, bike trails and roads are not in the POI classification 😉 and photos can't be added to them.

 

There's more information in this help guide Add, remove, or share photos in Google Maps.

Although everything MapWrangler said is correct, it is possible to add photos to trails if they are 360 photos (AKA photosheres) since these can be put anywhere on the map without being tied to a POI. Most modern phones can do this via the StreetView app
