This might work in famous places but I can't imagine pictures of endless crop fields where I live would help google with shit. And how exactly is GPS less accurate than pictures of buildings anyway? GPS works on your phone even without internet access, so I don't think google has our best interests at heart here.

I live in a small village in the UK, and it works here. GPS doesn't always get a great signal, so this supplements it.
