Comment on Ask HN: How to Build Your Own (Mini) Google Street View?

Comments

Once upon a time I did something like this for about 500km of track. The first pass was to dump the images at regular intervals into google earth. It worked great. The nice part about using ge was each pin had a km reference which made it very easy for us to zoom in on what we were looking for.

If I would do it again I would dump the images into Photo Sphere Viewer and make a mini-map.

It depend what is needed, but it is conceivable to use a cheap 360 camera on a stick and log the journey with OsmAnd/whatever. If only some images/locations need to be high detail, use a normal camera for those locations. With care the images could be merged, but it's probably not worth it. Just link to it from the photo sphere.
