  • Upload individual 360° photos to Google Maps for viewing in Street View mode.
  • Upload connected 360° photos to create walk-through tours on Google Street View.
  • Set an optional floor level for each photo in a multi-story location.
  • Set the heading for each photo.
  • Preview photos and their walk-through connections before publishing.
  • Edit 360° photos before publishing: blur areas, add text, add icons, add a watermark, and remove objects with AI.
  • Update published photos, including their locations, connections, and headings.

Connections link photos so viewers can navigate between them with Street View arrows. A heading is the compass direction, measured clockwise from north from 0° through 359°, that a photo faces. Levels let Google Street View group imagery by building floor.

Google may need several days to process connections and floor levels after the photos themselves become visible.
