Can the Xiaomi be used for Google Street View?

Sure! Although is not listed in the supported cameras, this means only that you cannot control directly from Street View App.
But you can always import panoramic photos you did with any camera, if the basic requirements are met: min 14 mpixels, max 72 mbytes.
You should transfer the panos to your smartphone/device where you run SV App, and click the import button, then you can upload to maps.

No problems at all.
The best way is to import the pano in SV App from the camera roll, blur, choose the right place, and publish 
Easy.
The Xiaomi Mijia 360 is the best 360 camera of this year, keep updated the camera firmware for new improved and more quality (raw, manual control, HDR, bullet time video, etc)

Hi @AlexNam sorry, I don’t have direct experience with this camera, so I don’t know (but I think the answer is no) if has got embedded GPS.
So you will have to use the smartphone localization capabilities.
But @StephenAbraham could help here.

You can turn on Geo tagging in the MiSphere app to tag the location together (via the Phone GPS receiver). The camera doesn’t have GPS built in, as with most other consumer 360 cameras.
You can manually import the MiSphere 360 photos into StreetView app. Or you can just upload from Google Maps, either will work.
And important thing to note is that the MiSphere is not certified with StreetView, so you cannot directly use StreetView app to control the camera. If you want to have a SV certified camera, get the Ricoh Theta V or others.
@LucioV Thanks for tagging me

I have a Xiaomi Mijia 360 and I am using it for SV.
But as lot of guys said, you can’t use the cam directly from SV app.
Save the pic on the phone and manually tag GPS, blur faces, tag location after importing in SV app.
A bit pita I say. This a great cam and it’s a shame that Google SV app don’t recognize it

Estou a usar esta camera, mas ao upar fotos 360 tiradas com ela para Google Maps, ela perde totalmente a resolução maxima que é *6912 x 3456. Alguém sabe como resolver isso?? Olhem só: https://goo.gl/Y2j3jf
The problem is you can’t connect this Camera directly to the SV app. So you can’t use it to “update Google Street View”.
Is there a workaround for this?
Redmi 5a - not working. You get message “this device cannot make spherical images”.
I think Google Hate Xiaomi products 
Or wise versa
