Google Now Allows you to Create your Own Street View Maps

By |

Google released today a new important feature allowing users to create their own personalized Street View maps of their whereabouts. This means that you can now create a virtual itinerary of your trips, travels, places you visit…etc and share them with the world on Google Maps.

The process of creating your personalized Street View maps is very easy and this is how to do it :

  • Create photo spheres using your Android phone or a DSLR 
  •  Share  these photo spheres  onViews. 
  • Next, select the photo spheres from your profile and use our new tool to connect them together 
  • Once your photo spheres are connected and published, people can navigate between them on Google Maps, just like they can in Street View. 
Here is an example of a Street View Experience from photo spheres created by Google product manager Evan Rapoport. Using his Nexus 4 and DSLR camera Evan made it possible for anyone viewing his Street View map to virtually explore the beautiful location he visited in his vacation.
