I spotted that article at https://mspoweruser.com/google-street-view-imagery-to-google-maps/ Does Google maps is nervous when they check their rear-view mirror to see what Bing maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetmap, Esri or even Mapquest do?
QuoteGoogle today announced a new feature in Google Maps that will allow anyone to share their own Street View imagery of any location. Using the new connected photos tool in the Google Maps Android app, you can record a series of connected images as you move down a street or path.
Here's how this feature works:
After you record your images and publish them via the Street View app, Google automatically rotate, position and create a series of connected photos.
Google then place 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.
Such a thing already exists (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.0388478,-70.1955037,3a,75y,226.5h,87.04t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipM-w7Q1YQfQJEqE1W_nK940hmZkTukd02Awqr3k!2e10!3e11!7i5760!8i2880). (Link is to someone who did it in Provincetown, MA)
