But even if images of your area aren't searchable, if you're at the physical location you want to know about, you may be able to use the <a href="http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=166336" rel="nofollow">nearby places overlay</a>, which uses GPS. @Ignatia/Inge de Waard I’m not sure which sources of pictures are used.

I was wondering, I imagine the image recognition is linked to a picture database? Do you know if this is linked to the pictures google users put up, or if it is something centralized done by Google? Just asking because I can imagine that image recognition is okay for famous cities, but not for tiny villages (in which I am living). thanks for any info you are willing to share on this.

One note: Often if the audio book is the top result, the regular book will be listed in "other matches" farther down the page. Clicking on that will bring up the product search and books link as if it were the top result. Great use case!
