Have you ever wanted to contribute your own Street View on Google Maps? Well, you can do exactly that with the Street View app and a 360 camera! And if you’ve reached Level 6 or higher (or are a Street View trusted photographer) and have a Ricoh Theta V camera, you’ve got early access to a great new feature: video mode.
In video mode, you can take a 360 video and the app will turn it into a series of connected Street View photos covering your route. It's all automatic!
What you’ll need: the latest version of the Street View app and a Ricoh Theta V camera. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Help Center.
Let us know: How is video mode working for you? Share your feedback through this form, report feedback in the app, or comment on this post.

Es una gran opción @Yohanad y mas aun que la puedas hacer directamente desde Google Maps, ya estoy ansioso por probarla, veré que puedo hacer y después comparto mis experiencias, gracias.
saludos Farid.

Wow, @Yohanad
Thanks for this beautiful news.
I was thinking about to buy a 360 camera as a self gift for Christmas, so now I know which camera I have to buy. I'm going to order the camera asap, i can't wait to see the results in some beautiful path that is not mapped yet.
Thanks
Ermes

My mind is blown. I hope it extends into other 360 videos, as I have a Samsung 360 camera...

Great news, @Yohanad. Thank you to Street View team. Kind regards from Osaka78

Thanks @Yohanad we were testing this through API, and I thought was only for 8K video. Integration with SV App is only for ThetaS? I think i could provide better SV using my 5.7K capable device, but I will have to upload using API.

Great feature !!
Easier to use than the standard series of points!!

Wow this is great news to hear, Just only 2 weeks ago i saw this feature and i was exploring it, like for real. @Yohanad Can you confirm again if this only works for theta ? I think my Lg 360 cam here is performing some magic, it is working for me 🙂

@LucioV the SV App integration is only for the Theta V at this time.
What's your 5.7K-capable device?
