Who does not like to capture images? In fact, it’s an amazing way to save your joy moves in one click.
Google launched its feature called ‘Google Street View’ in several cities in the United States in 2007. Additionally, it announced an update to this feature and said it will allow you to capture and publish images without a special 360-degree camera. The update is currently available in some locations and will be available for more if the update works well for the purpose for which Google introduced it.
Google has brought this update to the application on Android that allows you to publish images on Google Maps through the Street View application. Before the update was released, the images posted to the app were taken from Google’s Street View special vehicles. Thanks to Google, this is no longer the case and you can simply post images taken from your mobile phone.
You will use ARCore technology to capture images, and after posting them to the app, Google will automatically reverse, locate, and create a sequence of linked photos. After that, Google Al places those photos in the exact location where you took them.
This update where you will upload photos will help Google to show better maps in the app as you can post pictures of places that are not yet available on Google. You also don’t need special types of equipment or a DSLR camera, instead you can click on a photo from your mobile camera and post it. As Google says, after capturing 170 billion images from 10 million miles around the world, it now wants its users to share images from places it failed to post.
The new feature is currently available to Android users in Toronto in Canada, New York, Austin, Texas, in the US, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Costa Rica as well.
The update was first seen on Reddit in November, but it was available to some users at the time. Hopefully it will now be available for regions where Google currently supports. If you want to share images on Google Map, you need to download the latest version of the application: ‘Street View’. Or you can download it from APK Mirror or Play Store. When you post an image, it will be surrounded by blue dotted lines in the Street View segment on maps. If images like yours already exist with the same location, Google said the dotted line will change to a “solid” blue line. The Company is conducting further research on how to further improve this beta version.
