Google lets users make own Street View

Google has unveiled a new tool that allows users to make a Street View - a 360 degree virtual tour - of any place and share it using Google Maps. These can be formed by using photos taken by an Android phone or DSLR camera. The tool lets users connect different photos and, once published, people can steer between them on Google Maps.

Google supposed the move will allow it to expand the reach as well as the uses of its maps service. The firm said in a blog post they are excited to see the different types of Street View experiences that everyone will contribute. This quality can now enable ecological non-profits to document and promote the beautiful places they strive to protect.
