Google Maps contribution stories

So, there are plenty of posts about how to add logos to the nadir of 360º pictures but i have another question.

Is adding a custom logo (advert) allowed on Google Street View images?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Superimposed text or graphics, including promotional content such as logos, are subject to the following requirements:

  • For 360 photos, superimposed content must be limited to either the zenith or nadir (top or bottom 25% of the equirectangular image), but cannot be present in both.
  • For traditional digital photos and videos, superimposed content cannot take up more than 10% of the image or video, and must be limited to a single edge.
  • Superimposed text or graphics must be relevant.
  • Distracting superimposed text or graphics are not permitte

@vivekvajmera most professional graphic program can help you do that, such as Photoshop etc. Or 360 tour software like Pano2VR. Also few phone apps nowadays allows the patch also.

If you want to do a simple one, you can try this site https://nadirpatch.com/patch2sphere/

Haven’t tried it myself though.
