Google has added user-generated YouTube videos to locations on its map service. Now you can see photos, Wikipedia articles and YouTube videos related to a particular location. Some users will find this very useful, as they'll now be able to get more knowledge about a particular location while using Google Maps. Users can now see selected user-generated videos that relate to the location for which they are searching.  Here is one particular location in New York City, where you can see photos, Wikipedia articles and YouTube videos.  The videos are smaller than normal, but they fit well within the map.  To see the video options, you have to enable them in the “more” menu section and you'll have to choose “videos” as shown below.     Once you enable the videos, you will see small TV screens in Google Maps if there are any YouTube videos available in that area.  It's yet another useful feature you may want to check out before you travel.
