Photo Spheres with Google Maps

360-Degree Photo Spheres Using Google Maps

Photo spheres are interactive, scrollable, 360-degree images created and taken using specific apps and programs on various handheld devices.

Here are some examples

To add Photo Spheres to your site, you'll need to embed them into stories, pages, and widgets, as you would any other embed code. Right now, our sites only support embeds from Google Maps, but more sources will undoubtedly become available over time.

You can either choose from the thousands of Photo Spheres on Google Maps or create your own. If you have created an original Photo Sphere, you'll first have to upload it to Google Maps. Once you do that, find your contribution and then click on it. It will give you options at the top left of the image; click on Share --> Embed.

Once back on your site, paste the embed code in a story, page, or widget. Be sure you're pasting directly into the body of the story or page using the TEXT tab, rather than the VISUAL editor.
