This method adds metadata to the Equirectangular image manually. A little bit of setup and then updating is fast and easy. The blog provides an update for Milo's "Method 2: The faster but more complicated way" and is broken down into a simple a step-by-step workflow for Mac OSX users.įirst off, I would highly recommend you read Milo's blog. However I needed a Mac workflow and came up with the method that is described in this blog. This is a follow on to Milo's blog, where he takes you through the Windows version. It was the solution I had been searching for. Thanks to Milo Timbol for his excellent blog on "How to upload non-android 360 panoramas to Google Maps". I'm also working on a new tutorial showing how to add your 360˚ panoramas to Google Maps.

I've created a new tutorial, Google Map Photospheres - Adding MetaData on Mac using ExifTool & Terminal, to take you step by step through using the Terminal to add MetaData. The only option for those who upgrade is using terminal commands to write the metadata. Update : Upgrading to El Capitan creates an issue whereby pyExifToolGui cannot integrate with ExifTool.

Update : Thanks to some insightful folk on the GitHub forum there is a fix you can apply that restores the integration between pyExifToolGui and ExifTool on Mac's running Yosemite or El Capitan. I've created a small Fix the Link to ExifTool tutorial that illustrates the steps required to make those changes. In this tutorial I'll show you how to prepare non-android created 360˚ panoramas for uploading to Google Maps Views via Mac OSX.
