![]() I leave the first 3 input fields to default, you can change the compass heading but it's hard to know what value to put without some graphical help, I wish they'd do something similar to how does it. Once the upload is finished you'll see this screen. The file I used is 6000 x 3000 pixels and I converted it from TIFF to jpeg to make it smaller, the file size is around 6mb so it didn't take a lot of time to do. The only problem here is if you're uploading a big file it will take a while to upload and download but like I said this is the easiest way I know of. Basically what we are going to do here is upload the 360 panorama, add some metadata to it like geolocation (latitude, longitude) plus photosphere specific stuff and then download it back. Go to this website - and upload your equirectangular file. Step 1 : Add metadata to the equirectangular image Method 1 : The easy but slower way There are probably a lot of ways to do this but these 2 are the ones I know of. To make a 360 panorama fit for upload to google we need to add some metadata to the photo. The actual dimension of the real file is 6000 x 3000 pixels. This is not the actual file I used, I just want to show you how it looks like as a flat image. Below is a resized equirectangular image of that panorama. In this tutorial I converted this panorama to be fit for google maps upload. There are two ways to do it (that I know of) the easy but longer way and the quick but more complicated method. I am not going to write a tutorial on how to shoot 360 panoramas ( click here if you want to learn how to shoot 360 panoramas), I assume you already know how to do that and you have some equirectangular images you want to upload to google maps / views or whatever it's called. This is great if you're uploading shots taken from your phone but what about 360 panoramas taken using your DSLR? Good thing there's a way to do it and in this post I am gonna show you how. In Google Maps or Google Views (I'm not sure if this is how you call it) you can now upload photospheres taken using your android phone.
