I know it is still some weeks before chrismas, but still I am posting my wishing list here.
If you also have a list of items that would make your work with LG easier let us all know. Name the product and give a reason, why that would be helpful.
1. Ricoh Theta 360° camera:
Reason: Because that would make it far easier to give users a more immersive impression of a place than single photo shots place
2. Pixel 2 XL and the Pixel 3 - whenever that will be available
Reason: because with my el cheapo android handset from Ebay I can not really make the great pictures that I would love to.
3. Google Pixelbook:
Reason: Because I expect a more seamless workflow from Android device to Android device. Then this notebook is said to run long on its battery and is very light, also acts as a tablet. So reviews could be edited, number plates and faces blurred, right on spot without fumbling with a tiny mobile device keyboard.
4. Samsung 49" CHG90 QLED Monitor
Reason: Because that would allow me to edit maps while having other important information for the research of missing data etc. all in one view. Also bigger is simply better when searching through maps!
5.Dji MAVIC AIR with Panorama camera
Reason: Because this compact, collapsible quad copter drone would allow to give a total overview of hidden spots, large areas, high objects and much more.
6. A white, illuminated, wireless keyboard mouse set.
Reason: because that simply makes working easier
7. More free storage space for Google fotos
Reason: Because I am running out of storage due to LG material 😉
Now what would be YOUR perfect gear for editing maps?
Should such items be part of future perks and rewards?

dear friend
I would take the same things only that:
Google photos has a function that gives you unlimited space,
and to buy an appropriate instrumentation I would ask advice from a great Street View professional: @LucioV
to take pictures out now I have a Samsung Galaxy S 8 which is perfectly ...
then for Christmas I would like many things, some are not publishable ....
now we are waiting for the wishes of others ...
however for professional technical advice on SV instruments there is @LucioV

Very nice wishing list @SuzanneBozz 🙂
So you are waiting cyper Monday to buy 🙂
A good smart phone is great option
About me now i am using note 5 , thinking to upgrade to note 8 or 9 maybe Pixel 3 ,
Huge monitor is good option , Don't forget to upgrade the hard drive to SSD for more fast experience ,
Upgrade your internet speed also great tip ,
Use Google Photo app to backup your photo its great option , i use the unlimited plan which backup all what you shoot unlimited free bit in less resolution , think about its good option ,
360 camera and become SVT and think to make money from is another great idea ,
Don't break the bank for all of these once go step by step ,
And congrats in advance
All deserve to invest in 😄

Hello @SuzanneBozz
May santa fulfill your wishes.
I have one and only wish which is 360 camera.
It takes lot of time to take a 360 photosphere in mobile phone.
Which makes me less interest in taking it also taking photoshoere in mobile has lot of sticthist problems and image outcome will be bad.
So Santa now you know what to gift me this Christmas.
Regards,
Shravan

I have searched Ebay for a cheaper solution like the Samsung 360, but since I read here that the Ricoh theta is the only officially supported 360 camera by streetview and one would have to change the metadata manually to have another brand accepted, I think for now this is the one to chose.
The Samsung 360 model 2017 is around 150 €/US$ so that would be within my budget, but the theta is simply too expensive if just used for my "hobby" maps.
I always miss Cyber Mondays... Not yet so popular here. And if you check, then the deals are not really good, or the quantities of the deals are so limited that you don´t get them at all.. Unlimited storage sounds good.
Will check your reference, but I think I am also a little bit good at gadgets 😉
