Google has announced Business Photos for Google Maps, a new product that allows people to view the inside of participating businesses.
Marissa Mayer, Google’s vice president of consumer products, announced the new product at the Social-Loco conference in San Francisco this week, where she demoed the ability to transition from the outside ‘Street View’ of a business, to a 360 degree interior view.
Business owners can submit their own photos of their business, or, alternatively, Google has made trusted photographers available in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Japan, South Korea, France, and the UK.
The service will be released in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, and several other countries next week, with other countries following later.
