Google adds user generated photos to Street View

Google Street View allows you to see photographs of the city and its environs taken by cameras connected to the Google vehicles going along the main streets of the city in the United States and other countries like Japan, Australia and Spain. And now you can also find photos taken by amateur photographers, too. In this case, it'sa good thing, because the amateur photos are often of better quality and more interesting composition. This is what happens when a man takes a picture, rather than letting a computer to it.

Google is using Geotagged photos provided by Panoramio. The Company also some of these photos available in other applications like Google Earth. If you are displaying a location in the street you have an image, an icon in the upper right of the screen that lets you know that the images are available for users. Clicking on a series of images you can scroll through the popup. Just click the button to the right, which should now be classified as Street View, to return to normal display.
