Creating a 360° Image for Google Earth

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

These two gentlemen were creating a 360° Image for Google Earth of Gloucester’s Fisherman’s Memorial.   Photos were taken of the memorial every 4 inches.  I estimated that it took them approximately 1 1/2 hours to complete the task.  They are sub contractors for Google Earth, and the images they took may appear in about a month on Google Earth.
