Interval 360photos in the app - how do I attach to a existing road missing street-view ?

Soooooo…

Tried the interval mode. it worked surprisingly great for a existing POI with picnic point.

But the real project is a bit of road which is missing street-view 360panos.
I understand how to use the app to capture / geo-tag the images.

But now that I have a bunch of images, how to I sign them to the correct road? (I only see the option to attach to a POI)

Somebody a lot smarter than me… please talk me through how this works :slight_smile:

Hi @BoLorentzen ,

I have just tried and it works for me - this way:

  1. Select the panos in your private tab,
  2. press the “add to map item” (or what - it’s set to Hungarian for me now),
  3. now a bunch of POIs appear but start typing the name of the street (include the “street” word and the locality as well if needed),
  4. now the street itself will appear - select that.
  5. follow the upload (correct positioning etc.) procedure as usual (I know you have the routine).

This is how I completed half a street here (pull Pegman over “Petőfi u.”). Only half as the App crashed and I had no time to redo… :slight_smile:

Interestingly, when I search for the street itself, the 360 photos do not appear. Maybe I’ll need to file a bug report…

@Csaba YOU ARE A GENIUS. Dude I never thought to search for the road. that worked. You get special Rock Star points for this.!

LOL I had the same problem, app crashed. have a couple roads that need spheres, think I will mount a old iPhone under the camera to give it good GPS.
I found the app worked best for this when I restarted the phone and the app first.
