The first is the excellent open source command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey and the second, the indispensable pyExifToolGui, written by Harvey Van Der Wolf. Two pieces of software must be available on the system to enable the update. This method adds metadata to the Equirectangular image manually. Google Street View was first introduced in the United States on May 25, 2007, and until November 26, 2008, featured camera icon markers, each representing.

#UPLOAD PHOTOSPHERE TO GOOGLE MAPS FOR MAC OSX#
The blog provides an update for Milo's "Method 2: The faster but more complicated way" and is broken down into a simple a step-by-step workflow for Mac OSX users.įirst off, I would highly recommend you read Milo's blog. However I needed a Mac workflow and came up with the method that is described in this blog. Whatever the case, you did not take the photosphere through the Street View app. This is a follow on to Milo's blog, where he takes you through the Windows version. It was the solution I had been searching for. When your Photo Sphere posts, others will be able to view it through either Google Maps or your Google+ page, along with your full name, the location it was taken, and the date it was created. The App can handle the processing of the multiple images taken for a 360 photosphere, suitable for uploading to Google Maps, and when you get back to wifi.

I'm also working on a new tutorial showing how to add your 360˚ panoramas to Google Maps. I've created a new tutorial, Google Map Photospheres - Adding MetaData on Mac using ExifTool & Terminal, to take you step by step through using the Terminal to add MetaData. The only option for those who upgrade is using terminal commands to write the metadata. If relevant, you also have the option to upload 360 photos synch up to a GoPro or 360 camera.
Update : Upgrading to El Capitan creates an issue whereby pyExifToolGui cannot integrate with ExifTool. Lastly, you will need to go to Google Views and import your Photosphere in Google Maps so that it appears when others search for that location. If you want to use your phone or tablet, select take photo sphere. Update : Thanks to some insightful folk on the GitHub forum there is a fix you can apply that restores the integration between pyExifToolGui and ExifTool on Mac's running Yosemite or El Capitan. I've created a small Fix the Link to ExifTool tutorial that illustrates the steps required to make those changes.
In this tutorial I'll show you how to prepare non-android created 360˚ panoramas for uploading to Google Maps Views via Mac OSX.
