Google Street View Goes Alone

Google launches Street View as a standalone App

Google Street View

     Google has launched its Street View application - that enables users to get a 360-degree.

The app uses Google’s Photo Sphere technology, but the app also now supports dedicated 360-degree cameras.

Users will now be able to upload their photo spheres (360-degree panoramas) to the app, while separately exploring Google Maps standard content. Notably, Street View is replacing iPhone's Photo Sphere Camera application. Users can easily look around using a finger to navigate.

Also, a new ‘Explore’ section allows the users to see explore both official content from Google, and images contributed by the public.

The new app is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
