#Add photosphere to google maps full#
Google photos AND Streetview ask for ready photos, preferably made with a full automatic sphere camera.įor a DLRS they have a help page, but no way to add metadata, the helpfile seems to be outdated, nothing new there. This asks some skills with scripts or the use of a Google app, which one could find on. For a "normal" camera you will have to add those metadata. When you use a mobile app for sphericals (after Android 4.2) the metadata and coordinates are automatically added. They aimed at DLRS for that, but I uploaded sphericals from my Nokia too. They wanted them from mobile devices, but also from "normal" cameras. We can not see our Panoramio photos uploaded after August on desktop, but we can see them in GE for Android another sign for Googles priorities.Īs for Streetview, the question at hand, Google wants spherical Panoramas. So prioritizing the mobile market will mean less interest in point and shoot camera´s or in DLRS´s. Problem with that is that, even when you have a 41 MP Nokia, there will not be much post processing on the phone, the quality can never be visible as on a desktop monitor. Views has been abandoned because of the link with Google+, IMO that doesn´t mean that the marketing strategy prioritizing mobile has changed The majority of the photos made would come from mobile devices, that´s the medium which makes the photo and puts it on the web immediately if wanted. The Pizzeria nearby was a much used example. With the POI preferably being a business.


The whole Views idea and Panoramio merging with Views was to make photos available on mobile, finding Points of Interest on your smartphone and then get the photos showing that POI. Google is aiming at mobile, that means not only output, but also input.
