“After recording your images and posting them through the Street View app, we automatically rotate, position and create a series of connected photos,” the company wrote. “Then we put those connected images in the right place on Google Maps, so your new Street View can be found in the exact location where it was taken for others to see and explore.”
Connected photos will appear on the map as dotted blue lines, as shown in the GIF above, which you can find by dragging the Pegman. “When we have existing Google Street View images, we will show them as the main Street View experience with a solid blue line,” adds Google.
Google has allowed the public to capture Street View images for years, but that has always required a 360-degree camera. Opening it to anyone with a compatible Android device will help Google post remote images that aren’t on Maps or get updates in rapidly changing areas. From the user’s point of view, many other Maps users could see your Street View photos. Connected Photos beta is now available on the Street View app with ARCore-compatible Android devices in Toronto, New York, and Austin, TX, along with Nigeria, Indonesia, and Costa Rica, with more regions on the way soon.
