It is pretty straight forward, @Manithebluepearl

You need to practice making good 360 images. And upload 50 of them to Google maps and Voila: You are a trusted photographer. But please don’t expect to start earning money just because you get the badge.

Many mobile phones can be used to make 360 images, but the process is slow and there are often errors in the stitching. It is better to buy a dedicated 360 camera. But again, please don’t expect to make a business out of it.

Cheers

Morten

Thanks @MortenCopenhagen for the prompt reply. As I have been decently employed & hold responsible position, I am fortunate that I need not go for outside resources to find a living at present. But, I never thought its not the sole purpose of my life. Overall growth of our existence never comes only from what you do to earn a living for you and family. Satisfaction and happiness can be derived from doing something worthy and fruitful to the global community especially those who are with Google. So, hope this is a right place for me to find birds of the same feathers.

Kind regards,

Mani

Hey @Manithebluepearl ,

To become a Street View Trusted Photographer you need to upload at least Fifty 360° panoramic images. They need to be at least + 14 mp or larger (5,300 x 2,650 px) and get approved by Google Street View first. You can make 360° photos with your phone, using the Street View App. Here is the guide to Create or import 360 photos.

As for the camera, here you will find the list of Street View ready cameras that are supported by the Street View team.

And to answer your last question, you can tag a Google Moderator by putting the symbol “@” in front of the nickname.
