Issues with video to 360 images in Google Street App, Ricoh Theta V

I’ve made several attempts to capture a tour with the Streets app and Ricoh Theta-V in video mode. While it does seem to “work” the GPS location is never specific and instead regional.

I shot this in the Congaree National Park some weeks ago.

https://www.google.com/maps/@33.8275094,-80.8249422,0a,75y,1.5h,87t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAF1QipPPGZaGoOuYpNnj_FFCqf6gd6MUQKkC6aQxkiyy!2e10

I cannot seem to select Congaree, and instead it has Hopkins, SC.

I recently shot inside the Biltmore house in Asheville, NC. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.5407633,-82.552945,0a,75y/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAF1QipP49m4L0mHXBks9PUyOQDZZ2A5Hu_EHRMNQZksF!2e10

However I get for location is Asheville, NC.

Am I doing this all wrong. Is video only for “streets” and not for virtual tours?

I want to shoot a trail in my area, so my question is whether to shoot in Streets video mode or just periodic still?
