How to add photos and videos of roads ?

When i visited nanitaal i added so many photos of local area but when i tried to add photos and videos of thandi sadak i can’t do this. So please google maps should add this feature that we can add photos and videos of roads beacuse sometimes it is very bebeficial to see see road location and other pictures to understand the location clearly.

Hi @AbhayDixit

Currently, you can’t add photos or videos for a road or street.
There are two options for that.

  1. You can attach that to any points of interest along that trail.

Or

  1. Alternatively, justify the distinctive nature or some peculiarity of that course and submit a request to include a picturesque (or scenic) point on that track.
    Once the POI is there, then do the needful.

One example of that is the “Lombard Street” at San Francisco, CA. It is famed for the thrill of a breathtaking drive-down along an exceedingly narrow, steep and twisting lane.

Tagging @955HIRO to illustrate an example of a street as a POI.

Hello @AbhayDixit ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I just wanted to let you know that I am going to move your post to How-tos section, since it fits better there.

Thank you @C_T , @955HIRO for helping in this matter.

Hi @AbhayDixit I can add some more to the answers on this question. If the road does not already have Street View a Local Guide (Level 5 or higher) can if they have both the Street View App and a supported 360 camera such as the Theta V can record 360 video as they pass along the road. This when submitted will be processed into Street View blue lines.

Note you need both a supported camera and a fairly powerful phone to do this.
