A while back, Google began added some new zooming functionalities to Street View.
Now the company has brought these two features together to let users choose which photos they want to view for applicable destinations, and zoom in on those, rather than only being able to zoom in on the default image. This is demonstrated in the following short clip.
When an image is shown in the photo viewer, a small set of "zoom polygons" are shown. This means that there are close-up photos available.
The addition of this feature might inspire photographers to submit more user photos to Google, because Google surely wants to expand upon this feature greatly. I don't know how many locations feature this functionality, but I would imagine there is still a lot of ground to cover.
