By David Martin, Jeffrey Martin, and the 360Cities Team Outline Introduction You are probably already familiar with medium of 360 degree panoramic images from either Google Street View or KML PhotoOverlays in Google Earth (from the Gigapxl, Gigapan, or 360Cities layers).
Tools for authoring panoramic images are getting very good, but the process of preparing and presenting such images on the web is still difficult. That is part of the motivation behind the creation of 360cities.net: panoramic photographers use our site to replace the otherwise difficult and time-consuming process of publishing their geotagged panoramas to the web.

For example, have you tried to embed a newer Google map into a web page? The reliable old "link" button is nowhere to be found!

But there's another way, and it's a way which will help you take advantage of the newer, prettier Google Maps, like this: Maps Engine Lite (Beta) is a tool which allows you to design and save your own custom maps. You can then publish and share your maps, so let's begin by clicking on "New map": Sun Surveyor shines with Street View. In this guest blog post, we hear from Adam Ratana, a hobbyist photographer and software engineer by day, and developer of the Android and iOS Sun Surveyor apps by night.
In this tutorial, Adam talks about his creative implementation of custom polylines on Street View panoramas in the Google Maps SDK for iOS. When I set out to build Sun Surveyor, I knew I wanted to give users an easy way of visualizing the location of the sun and the moon. Sun Surveyor has an augmented reality (AR) feature, which overlays sun and moon paths on top of the device camera’s view. This is useful for understanding how light will change over time at a particular location. Tour Builder.
