@Blaze-Falconburger Are you talking about Street View tours of Virtual Tours created in GoThru?
As a NOTE Street View, Google does not allow setting the starting angle, that is picked by an AI algorithm on their side

@Jason-Kay each map has it's straight and weakness and they are designed for different scenarios. The jurney map is built mostly to empathize a path and provide you with information, like where you are on that path.

@Jason-Kay The video pipeline was stuck for about one day, now it's back working and you should have the videos that you are creating

@Michael-Hagen If you have consent, then you should be OK with not blurring faces. Please check Google rules for more details https://www.google.com/streetview/policy/trusted/

@Ben We've added support for multi language videos and that broke a bit the project.

I had to write a script that went through all the projects and fix all hotspots with youtube videos, all should be OK now

@Ben GoThru supports multiple type of Overlays per tour.

I suppose you've clicked by mistake on the "Create New Virtual Tour" button, and that created the empty tour

I've deleted the empty tour, for you, and now you should have only the one with the Overlay

You need to use the Clone tool:

https://docs.gothru.co/how-to-clone-a-tour-with-pano-id/

This has two options:

1. Clone with PanoId, this is used when you want to move the panoramas from one GMB to another
2. Clone without PanoId, this is used when you want to create a copy to the GMB to another GMB page

@Jovica Yes, you can publish, do not worry about that.

@Jovica Yes, you don't need to have a company, you can operate as a sole proprietorship

@Jovica You do not need any company. If your friend's restaurant has a Google Map Business profile you can use GoThru to publish directly to that GMB page

@Kemas-Dimas From the above articles are a bit old, and picking the Starting Angle might or not work. Basically Google has an AI that selects the angle and rotating the pano (you can rotate with a random angle) might force Google to pick another starting angle ... but that's not guaranteed.

Regarding your question ... the levels behave differently in Google. When you jump from level to level, Google will pick the closest pano to the current one from the level you are jumping too, and the angle will be the direction you are facing, so no hack will help you with picking the pano or the angle. They use an AI, because that's what they have for the Car images ... and they can not allow Street View to work without with AI for the car images and without AI for users uploaded images, that would introduce bugs.

@VV360 The stats do work, can you provide a link to the tour where the stats do not work?

You can blur from inside the Moderator, you click B (from Bluro) to enter Blur mode and then you can draw blur rectangles. Once you are done, Save and publish the tour to Google Street View. GoThru will auto blur the images at publishing time.

Please also check this tutorial, where I am explaining how to blur inside the Moderator:

Hi @frenchev You can create a Blue Line, but Google will not connect your Blue Line with their Blue Line, no matter the app you are using. They've used to auto connect, if the two tours were in proximity (5m) but I haven't seen that connecting being done in a few years.

@frenchev You can not connect tours that are not published by you. In your case, what you can do is publish the whole Mall, and then all individual stores, and then connect them to the main Mall tour, but all has to be shoot and published by you.

@DazzoPhoto You can publish with your client account, just by adding his Street View account to your GoThru account.

Please check this tutorial that explains how to do that:
https://docs.gothru.co/how-to-add-a-client-s-street-view-account-to-your-gothru-account/

@Dynamic-Vision There is no fix for that ... Google has an AI that automatically picks the starting angle for each pano. You can play with centering tool .. based on my experince it works for some tours, but not for other, and it does not matter to what you set the center, the AI will still pick what it think it's most intresting part of the pano but you might force it to pick another angle

@ericjurin We do have a bug, and some of the acounts, that singup via email/password can not login.

Please send an email to support@gothru.co with your email in GoThru, and we can activate the account.

We will look into this bug this week and address it.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

@Super064 For GoPro you need an Mac to export the mp4 with GPS

@Dynamic-Vision In case of older images, you need to request from Google to have them deleted. We have a tutorial explaining how to do that: https://docs.gothru.co/how-to-request-removal-of-older-panoramas-from-google/

As a Note, you need to first publish the new images to Google and then report the older ones, otherwise Google will not delete them. Also it will take Google 4-5 weeks to delete an older tour.
