There are two ways, first, Google has satellite imagery which takes high-resolution images of the earth from space, and secondly for more street-level imagery, Google has a special fleet of cars with a large pole extending from the top of the car with cameras mounted on them, the cameras take pictures of the surrounding area as the car drives which can get detail too small for the satellites to get.

How do you get photos on Google maps?

== My interest with Google Earth was rekindled when I read Mawee's entry showing a captured image of her house from Google Earth. Instantly, I opened Google Earth from my PC & explored it, then I remembered Panoramio.com, I submitted some photos on panoramio. So what the heck is Panoramio, it is a site that offers online photo storage, as an additional feature, the possibility of showing your photos on Google Earth. I started uploading & mapping my photos on Panoramio last May, there was no promise of your photos to be shown on Google Earth in an instance, it takes time. Yesterday, after ignoring Panoramio for about 2 months, my photos finally appeared on Google Earth. I have submitted 16 photos, 13 of which are now available & viewable through Google Earth, here are the 13 photos featured: i found this on another web page hope this helps! To copy a screenshot of Google Earth, go to Edit, then Copy Image. (or press Ctrl+Alt+C) You can then copy this image into Paint or any other picture editing program.
