Create your own Google Street View

Google announced that’s it’s now possible for you to build your own Street View experiences. Using a new feature in Views community, you can easily connect your photo spheres to create 360º virtual tours of the places you love, then share them with the world on Google Maps.
own Google Street View
To get started, just create photo spheres using your Android phone or a DSLR and then share them on Views. Next, select the photo spheres from your profile and use our new tool to connect them together (as seen in the example above). Once your photo spheres are connected and published, people can navigate between them on Google Maps, just like they can in Street View. Please visit help center to learn more about connecting photo spheres.

And, just like with Street View, you can embed our interactive viewer on your own website or build applications with it using the Google Maps API.
