Hello!
Can we make any request for the street view image in our area. I mean i am adding the street view photo 360° but while taking photo from mobile it’s very hard and we need street view update in our Village. And in Google street view app the option is missing “Photo Path” there’s only one word “Photo Sphere.” And know the Google Street View app is removing soon. I need photo path update total our Village. Can we request anybody for this?
Hi @Rakshi2
Streetview footage can be added by volunteers who own a dedicated camera with GPS build in. Such videos can be uploaded to Google Maps via the Streetview Studio website.
I have never seen a form to request the Google Streetview cars to swing by.
Cheers
Morten
PS on this website you can find a broad schedule for the Street View cars: https://www.google.co.uk/streetview/how-it-works/
No, you cannot, @Rakshi2
In the past was not possible to collect such type of data in your country, while now Google Maps is allowed to collect such data, that are regulated by the National Geospatial Policy (NGP), 2021.
For more details you can read the news (e.g. from OutlookIndia). As you can read in the article, the images are collected by a third party Indian company “on a Pilot Basis”.
More details about the National Geospatial Policy (NGP), 2021 can be read on the Indian Government Portal. A detailed explanation can be found here
But of course, as @MortenCopenhagen said, volunteers can collect and publish Street View (blue lines) too, using the available tools.
Photo path still available in the Street View app, if you have a version installed before the change, but is not available in the version, as the app will be not longer usable in a few weeks
Depending of the type of camera, @MortenCopenhagen , the GPS signal can be acquired by a built in sensor, or using the GPS position of the phone.
