Google Maps Adds Pictures & Explore Feature
Chris Silver Smith wrote a great article about the new Google Maps Pictures and Explore Features they debuted. Below is a small snippit from the article:
The new feature now displays the images by default — apparently somewhat randomly selected — along with links to some popular searches and user-created maps for the area. The photos apparently must be geo-coded in order to be associated with the mapped area, and once they’re clicked upon they then expand to provide more local pix as well as videos for the area, and it also displays a larger version of the image clicked upon at its geo-coordinates overlaying the map along with icons of the pix peppered over the map.
As you can see below there are integrated relevant images from Picasa and the new geo-tagging feature - check it out!
This should encourage EVERY SEO and Webmaster to always remember to optimize your image/media files with proper nomenclature, and tagging where applicable. Please check out the original post here on Search Engine Land Google Maps Adds Pictures & Explore Feature
