I'm almost dangerously addicted to Google Earth. I was browsing Google Earth yesterday, scanning Grand Cayman for vacation research purposes, and I found these little blue circular icons (
) spattered across the map area. These little icons are from Panoramio, and allow people like you and I to map our photos.
This is the perfect example of the internet's ability to provide instant, and endless information at it's finest. You can search areas for vacation spots, and even see a slew of pictures that people have take from specific spots!
Next time you are in Google Earth, check the box in the left panel that reads "Geographic Web", and that will enable the Panoramio picture spots.
