Google has revealed that the Street View feature on Google Maps is as much for the company’s benefit, as it is for its customers. You can use Street View in the Street View gallery or the Street View app, not just the Google Maps.

Armed with this tool, people have been able to explore world landmarks, see natural wonders, and enter inside museums, arenas, restaurants, or small businesses — all from the comfort of their homes. Yet, the feature greatly benefits the search company as well.

In a blog announcement, the company said: “Street View is also an essential part of how we map the world.”

Google uses a combination of the feature and AI to update Google Maps with such things as: newly opened businesses, new hours at restaurants, speed limit information, and more. This is how the company manages to keep its Google Maps as up-to-date as possible.
