Google Maps is a versatile tool for exploring the geography of the world. The service is free and provides many features such as mapped street directions, while a satellite layer provides aerial photography. Google Maps also features thousands of photographs submitted by users. These photos are tagged with a certain location and show the varied events and weather experienced by different people in a given area. It is possible for anyone to take photos and submit them to Google for possible inclusion on Google Maps. Not all photos are approved, however. Tips Writer Bio
