Google Merges Street View with User Photos

Google is now allowing you to overlay photos from other users into Street View, giving you a new way to experience places near and far.

User photos first came to Street View more than a year ago, but this is the first time we’re seeing image and object recognition used to place this trove of content placed in a real-world context.
