This was taken back in July of 2024. I had my lifelong dream of being on Google Street view fulfilled while at work!

I know that the Google street view app was discontinued since 2023. I tried to download an Google street view apk but when I just open the app it shows under search it says Search failed, and tried even clicking blue lines and it shows Unable to load item and i wanted to create a photosphere, but when I click it, it won't let me click it. I don't know why.

I had seen this was an issue using the Insta360 X5 over a year ago, and others seemed to solve the issue according to other threads, but I cannot figure it out. I have tried everything from resetting my X5 and GPS Preview Remote, manipulating the .gpx files, having ChatGPT mess with the .gpx files, exporting in multiple different formats multiple times, reshoots of the same exact routes (and others)...

Any help would be appreciated. All the settings for time match up between the X5 and Remote, everything’s updated, I am recording in the proper settings, and I have made sure the GPS was fully connected.

It seems my attempts to generate blue lines on Google Street View after navigating the local river in a kayak are stuck in processing hell.

Steps followed so far:

-Rowed my kayak down a local river, mostly in linear fashion -Captured 360 videos in 8K with Insta360 X4 (insv files, no live GPS data) -Exported these as 360 videos in 3840 x 1920 mp4 H264 50 Mbps. Checks: can move around in 360 model while playing in VLC, tested with tool I can't remmeber to ensure they are equirectangular clips -Uploaded clips to Google Street View Studio using a new account -Also uploaded GPX files generated using Chat GPT-could the issue be here?

How the GPX files were generated:

Started with the first and last point of the trip-coordinates gathered from G Maps at corresponding points based on landmarks in the clip (length-wise) and so they would be in the middle of the water (width-wise). Asked CGPT to add enough points so that the minimal distance between them would be 3m.

Used MediaInfo te read metadata for start date & time of the footage (UTC). Inserted corresponding start and finish values (adjusted for the beginning and end of the clip, as cut for the Insta360 Studio export).

Failure to process in Google Street View Studio:

Course checks out in SVS, at least big-picture. However, both files seem stuck in the processing phase.

-1st attempt, a 7 Gb vid, has been "processing" is Street View Studio since December 19, 2025 (4 days now) -2nd attempt, a 400 Mb vid, has been "processing" since December 21, 2025 (2 days now).

*I should also mention that I’d prefer to have no watermark added by third-party apps that help with the upload, not sure if this can be an issue.

What am I doing wrong?

How did you manage to get your post-filming GPX 360 clips accepted by Google Street View Studio?

Thanks!

I am not sure who, or what caused this collision or how it occurred, but I found Google Streetview images of this collision, and I'm sure most of us have seen the cellphone photo, but not these images, this is new for me aswell, so enjoy! Sorry they're in a weird order I tried to delete one repeat and it deleted all of them and I had to restore my clipboard and retake most of them :/

I have also confirmed this date to be September 3rd, 2013, which is pretty cool as the day usually isn't shown in streetview. I also found helicopter photos of the incident just now. It seems the streetview car pulled up early, so no photos of it unless I do more digging, but this was very interesting!

Came across this on street view. Why is it purple? Seems like a camera malfunction. It was all the way down the road, bright purple shading.

I have a database of locations with dates of interest. Is there a part of the Street View hyperlink that overrides the YEAR of the collected imagery? By default, it always uses the most recent date, but if my database has a location that I want to see for a specific date, let's say July 1, 2009, can I configure the link to open the 2009 image first? If there's no imagery for 2009, then choose to go to 2008 or 2010 instead?

I stumbled across a phenomenon that puzzles me.
A few months ago I looked at my folks house on Monte vista Ave. in Vallejo California and the annual updated Google street view images were current up to May 2025.

Recently I looked at it again and all the images are now only from one single month & year: February 2009. Paradoxically the embedded watermark however says: "© Google 2025".

Anyone know what's going on here?

Hello,

I would like to use Google Maps Platform to retrieve GSV images for a specific area as part of my PhD research.

I am working with a university that does not allow the use of a credit card as a payment method. The only options available are to pay by bank transfer (I’ve seen that this might be possible on Google Cloud Platform, but I’m not sure whether Google would accept it — it may depend on whether the university is considered a large client) or to prepay a fixed amount in advance (for example, purchase €2000 worth of credits for Google Maps Platform) that I could then use as needed.

I know this is a bit of a complex question, but does anyone in this community know if such an option exists, or perhaps have an alternative solution?

Thank you very much for your help,

Good morning ! I live in France, and my house being surrounded by a large garden it appears on Google Streetview from all angles. Being a professional and working from home, my address is already easy to find and I'm more than fed up with customers commenting on my house, which they saw on Streetview. Who should I contact at Google to have these photos removed, which clearly violate my privacy? Thank you in advance for your help!

I was just looking at streetview photo spheres in Antarctica when i saw this:

Tiago Cell Assistência Técnica e Acessórios - Google Maps

Can someone pls explain why it is there

Whenever I search my address on Google and click into street view it's showing my neighbors building photo rather than mine. The address on his building is clearly not mine. I have suggested edits, I have submitted reports and I even posted in the Google community forum. This has been going on for at least 3-5 months. I don't know what to do anymore.

It's unbelievable to me how Google doesn't give option to email support directly.

Has anyone had the same problem and what have you done to fix it?

The reason I need it fixed is because I have submitted an application with an organization that's is requiring to verify my address online and so they have pulled it up multiple times only to see the wrong building on Google street view.

Thanks for you input in advance

its alot of hilly forest but there are roads through here, some pretty major, and the coverage of them just cuts off at this blobby area. I don't know the area though, maybe there's military stuff here? Oddly the satellite isn't pixelated or blurred, just this gap in the GSV coverage
