World as You See It on Yandex.Maps

15 December, 2009, МоскваЯндекс

Internet, December 15, 2009. Yandex.Maps has added a new photo layer. Now users of the service can see photos from unusual locations, images of interesting buildings, cityscapes and landscapes from all over the world displayed on the map. Yandex.Maps gives its users an opportunity to travel to different cities and countries without leaving their home – see Venice, the Brooklyn Bridge or the Egyptian pyramids. All photos on Yandex.Maps are made by the users of the Yandex.Fotki service.

“Photographs on maps is a service that has been created thanks to our users,” says Maria Orlova, Project Manager. “People are travelling, taking pictures and placing them on maps. We hope with their help we can make a really interesting and useful service that can show the beauty of the world we live in.”

Photo layer on Yandex.Maps will constantly be updated and expanded. Not only can the users add new photos, but also contribute to service improvement. For example, correct location for a certain photo.

Read more about photos on maps on the company blog (in Russian).
