Google will launch a new Street View app in August
On Google Maps things are changing. They are not visible yet, but they are already actively working on remodeling the section Street View or vista a pie de calle of this service of maps, directions and GPS navigator At least that's what one of those responsible has stated, announcing that it will exist a renewed application to enjoy all the spherical images at street level with which the contribute users themselves or professional photographers. A key point that will affect Google Maps as we receive more content from this new application. Of course, we will have to wait until next August to use it.
The idea of Google here is to be able to create a new platform for both amateur photographers or photography enthusiasts panoramic and 360 degree photography, as well as for professionals in charge of portraying complete environments. Thus, you have decided to create a new application Street Vew that will collect galleries of spherical photos and others content created by all these users and professionals, and that will help to complete the Google Maps experience with these images for their streets and places. All this with its spherical photography mode
The new application of Street View will replace the tool Photosphere with the new service from Google, which helps you take these 360-degree images and share them directly with the rest of the community. All this from the same application. Something like a gallery of spherical and panoramic photos of all kinds of places, offering more visibility to these creations in the same application, without having to access places or specific addresses in Google Maps
In addition, users will be able to add these images to the maps application, serving other users with updated resources to know the streets, businesses and environments of concrete points. However, another news item is that the app will support posting photos created with special cameras designed to take 360 degree snapshots such as the NCTech iris360 and the Giroptic 360camThe first to have support with this application.
But there are more related news. The sister map application, Google Maps Business View, for businesses will also open the doors to users non-professional photographers to be able to add your images and complete the information about businesses and the view of these at street level Something that photographers will not like very much professionals, but that expands the possibilities and improves the end user experience.
All these changes will be reflected during the month of August, when the renewed application Street View is published, improving the profiles of those who contribute their photos to Google Maps, and working to recover and improve the service to create constellations by joining several spherical photos of 360 degreesIssues that will be particularly appreciated by fans of digital cartography and end users of Google Maps , but perhaps not so much to those who do it professionally, who may feel sold out by Google in order to create a larger gallery. We'll stay tuned to see what happens after August.
