Now you can create your own Street View images
Using your Android phone or DSLR camera you can now create your very own Street View experience. Up until now you could only post your 360 degree images to Google Maps. Now you can move around between your images just like on Google Street View. You can even publish and connect it to the real Street View by Google.
This is an example of what you can do, created by Evan Rapoport, Product Manager, Google Maps & Photo Sphere.

Bags from Lost series?
Benny Bennet Jürgens took this funny sphere of some lost bags in Belize. This image has now been added to Google Maps. Spheres are similar to Street View in that you can turn around 360 degrees. The difference is you can’t walk around. Also sphere images can be uploaded by anyone and is not photographed by google.

This is a Google 360 degrees Sphere image. Anyone can post these kind of panorama images to Google Maps, so it’s not the real Street View images. But this sphere is special. It shows a Google guy with the Street View cameras in a backpack. The image was taken/added in January 2013 by Bryan Kiechle.

Photo sphere images from Brunei
Since we don’t have any official Street View images from Brunei yet, we offer you this photo sphere instead. Photos by Azry Jawi.
Photo spheres are posted by users to Google Maps and displayed in a similar way as Street View. The main difference is you can only pan around, you can’t take steps to another location like on Google Maps Street View.
