If there are few most likely it will be the one done by Google, no matter how old it is. For streets though I can see sometimes my own version which was done a few weeks ago instead of the Google one shown by default.

Best way to add multiple floors in Google Street View? Anyone?

pguerreiro

2 monthsWingman (803): Pano2VR should have that functionality. Never used it in Pano2VR but used to get a model with multiple floors to load from GSV into Pano2VR. Then after some changes I reuploaded it back and all floors were left unchanged. I believe they are done through labels in Pano2VR Street View submission form. If it is critical, I can check how it is written there for floors. And I am sure there should be a tutorial about it.

Depending on the date that the tour was posted, either the owner of the GMB account needs to delete or the photographer who published the photospheres will need to be contacted to delete the tour. The one item to note is if the tour has not been migrated, then it cannot he deleted until migration has finished.

2 yearsjfantin (1730): Yes you can. The Trusted status is no longer a requirement and you can start offering your services without previous qualifications. If you are going to use your own 360 camera or stitched images, you will have to use one of the approved platforms like Panoskin or Gothru, and if you are using Matterport GSV service, you can do it automatically. I am not sure if you will need a gmail account for this purpose. It was a requirement in the past...

2 yearsMetroplex360 (9253): My tips: #1) When scanning, try to keep very STRAIGHT paths. It makes much more sense for navigation to be done at 90 degree angles -- and even with Matterport tours, this turns out much better than simply scanning haphazardly in order to complete your dollhouse. #2) Disable unnecessary scans. As GSV is a bit more cumbersome to navigate, you are going to want to make your tour a bit more streamlined -- no bonus panos for fun! Try to trim...
