@mkmkamil As far as I know, we can only do it in the Street View app.

Hi @mkmkamil

I assume you are referring to the “Profile” tab in the Street View app? This tab has functions which are very specific to the mobile device app which are generally not available elsewhere in the Google universe. You can select multiple panoramas and connect them, move them, pick a maps listing, assign locations, transfer rights - all of which can be managed by zooming in/out on the map to see your 360 degree contributions to maps. This works well in conjunction with the “Explore” tab to speed up finding both your contributions and other peoples’ contributions for any area you define. The word “Profile” may be a bit misleading in this case!

In any case, the Google Street View app is a mobile device specific app that has no native application for the PC, at least at this time. However, there are alternatives - you can use an Android emulator on your PC, download and use any app from the Play Store including the Street View app.

These emulators were developed specifically for the gaming community which wanted to play their mobile device games on their PCs, but they work equally well with Street View. My favorite of the moment is BlueStacks. I have been using SV on my PC using the emulator as I do on my mobile device, and have had no problems with it. In many ways it works far better than my mobile device, but it does require more attention to updates and a slightly different interface. All in all I consider it a useful companion to my mobile app. You can read more about it HERE and HERE.

You would download BlueStacks which installs painlessly (but a bit slow), then go to the Google Play Store and download Street View. You will probably have to update the Google Play service app - just follow the prompts. When you open the SV app you sign into your Google account and everything is the same as it is on your mobile. And since it is running on a PC, it’s going to be a lot faster. You will have to learn how the BlueStack navigation works, and some calls like links that require an independent browser to open take awhile to open. Not a bad trade off though in my opinion.

Hope this helps, and good luck.
