Using Google Apps


Step 1
❱ Open Google Maps on your desktop. The map should be
centred on the country you live in, even if you have not shared
location information with Google. Photo tours can be found
using the satellite imagery (Earth view).


Step 3
❱ Photos, See inside and street views can also be displayed
along the bottom of the map, by clicking the Yellow man icon.
Photo Spheres are marked with a small blue circle, See Inside
with an orange icon and street views with a circular arrow.

Step 2
❱ Having entered your search criteria, if photo tours of a
location are available, they will be displayed as a series of photo
thumbnail images on the pop up left side menu. These photos
will show a side facing circular arrow icon in the bottom left.


Step 4
❱ Not all areas will feature photo points. They are made available
when there are several different views of a particular area. Click
on your choice of view and Google Maps will automatically swap
to that location and view, here we have selected Photo Sphere.
