| Summary: | Google Maps is one of the most influential applications in the world. Google Maps provides convenient and accessible features such as Street View, Local Guide, and Google My Business, amongst others. This study analyses and compares the average population of 28 selected cities in the European Union in 2016 and 2022. The presence of Street View in cities was investigated further and the average number of photos was determined in 2022. The average number of photographs in 2016 is between 97 and 139, while in 2022 it ranges between 2,144 and 3,872. This preliminary research was conducted using the counting method to determine whether a certain average number of photos exists concerning the population. The research is significant because it provides insight into the importance and viability of using Google Maps for tourism research. |
