Step 5
❱ Photo Sphere and See Inside are interactive still photographs
that have been uploaded to Google Maps. The latter allows you
to do exactly as one would expect and give you a view inside
the location, by simply clicking the small orange icon on the
map. To exit to Maps click the back arrow top left.


Step 6
❱ If you choose instead to open a photo sphere, you can use your
mouse to grab and drag the image around to see a 360 degree
image of a location. Photo spheres are created using a smartphone
app which, as mentioned, blends multiple photos together as one.


Step 8
❱ While in 3D mode, zoom into the screen and your viewpoint
will change from the 3D rendered background to Street View
automatically. This offers a perfect showcase of view points with
a single gesture.

Step 7
❱ Another fantastic feature
of Maps is the 3D rendered
view point you can access
in key locations by clicking
the 3D button on the
main navigation controls,
bottom right. By pressing
and holding the Control
key you can explore
this 3D environment at
your will.
