Introduction
This post aims to showcase the best 360 spheres contributed on Maps by Connect Local Guides and when it comes to the “best”, we mean those having the most views. For convenience, we simply call these star 360 spheres.
Example 360 Star Sphere:
In last month’s (November) 360 Spheres leaderboard post, the cover image was one taken by @Trail_blazer (Dharmender), while out cruising on his 125 cc bike in the small village of Sihri, in the state of Haryana, India. Continuing on with the biking theme, the cover image of this month’s 360 spheres post is of Metairie, Louisiana for Geo, Views of Lake Pontchartrain and was taken by @TiffanyStockstill, while pillion riding in Metairie, Louisiana. Tiffany is a Level 9 Local Guide from Louisiana, a southeastern U.S. state on the Gulf of Mexico.

You can test navigating Tiffany’s view in all directions and you will see how such photos make you feel immersed in the scene. To do this, on a smartphone simply swipe or drag your finger across the screen to look around the image or if you’re using a desktop, click your mouse on the photo and drag in any direction to explore the view.
Now here’s a small challenge for you. To see how immersive 360 spheres can be, move around in Tiffany’s image and see if you can find the view I show below what appears to be pillion riding Tiffany shooting the 360 sphere. Love the helmet Tiffany!
Way to go! Is this a better alternative to shotting on a unicycle GoogleMaps.Guru @Herve_Andrieu?

I was saving to buy a new 360cam to contribute more as my trusty years old Xiaomi Mi Sphere cameras battery
