Street View trusted FAQs

So what happens if you need to update the information in the for-hire index and no longer have access to the original invitation email?

[Yohanad]

Good question, @DCB3RD! You can receive the email again. For that, all you have to do is open the Street View app >> Settings and turn off the "Available for hire" option, and then opt-in again. This will trigger the email, that contains all necessary info.

Hello, 

I have a problem with turning on my "Available for hire" switch. I am using an LG 360 camera to capture my images. I have managed to have 73 of my images published and even gone through each one of them to confirm that they have been "Maps Approved".

Is there something I am missing or need to do in order to get the Trusted Photographer badge? 

Update: Thanks to @Yohanad, I have found the appropriate place thread for this post here.

@Yohanad If anyone does not have 360 ​​mobile, then what should I do? 

Thanks 😔

Hello, @InayatK

If you don't have a 360 camera, you can also use just your mobile device to take 360 photos. For that, make sure it has the Street View app installed, and the device has either the Android 4.4 KitKat or superior or iOS 8.0 or superior (iPhone, iPad ou iPod touch). You can see more information here.
