Google Maps 5.8 lets you upload photos for a Place

Google Maps was updated to 5.8 and with it comes some nice improvements:

• Upload photos for a Place
• My Places as a simple way to manage the Places you’ve starred and recently viewed
• Descriptive terms for Places in search results
• Add a new Place on-the-go when checking in

The biggest change has to be the photo uploader. You can now contribute photos of places to help others decide where to go. Often people like to see what a place looks like before making their decision. I am also digging that you can now add a place. Many times I wanted to check into a place, but couldn’t because it wasn’t there.
