Screen 1

Open the Google Street view app and you should be presented with a view similar to the Screen 1 image above. Click on the round orange circle with the camera icon at the bottom right of the screen.

Screen 2

In the next screen that opens up, click again on the round orange circle with the camera icon that says 'Take photo sphere' at the bottom of the screen.

Screen 3

Next, point your device camera at the scene you want to photograph and line up the white circular outline with the orange dot. As soon as the orange dot is perfectly centred inside the white outline the camera will automatically take the picture.

Screen 4

Continue lining up all all the dots until there aren't any more appearing. Try to stay standing in the same spot by pivoting on one foot and keep the device in roughly the same plane.

When the whole 360 image is complete the software will take a bit of time to put it all together and then export it to the virtual tour photography gallery on your device. From there you can upload it directly into your Provably Protect virtual tour.

Teliportme P360 App

The Teliportme app is excellent for taking Panoramic photos that have 360 image qualities, so you can scroll around and zoom in but the top and the bottom of the image won't be included, only a panoramic strip of most of the view.

Now that might seem a bit limiting, but it's actually works really well for taking 360 virtual tour photography images of your digital plot, because you won't be able to leave your vehicle on safari anyway to take full 360 images.

So all you need do is use this app to take a panorama of your property by pointing the camera out of the vehicle window and take pictures in a 180 degree arc.

Download this app for free at the Google Play App Store.

Screen 1

Open the Teliportme P360 app and you should be presented with a view similar to the Screen 1 image above. Click on the camera icon at the bottom in the middle of the screen.

Screen 2

In the next screen that opens up, point your device camera at the scene you want to photograph and then click on the green button with the camera icon that says 'Press To Start'.

Screen 3

Then align the overlap of the previous screen on the current frame by moving it in the direction that the cyan triangle points. The closer you can get the overlap to the previous image the better, and then press the green button again.

You can continue in this way until you have completed a 360 panorama or stop at any time by pressing the red button.

Screen 4

Then click 'Save & View Panorama' to enable the software to stitch everything together and then export it to the virtual tour photography gallery on your device. From there you can upload it directly into your Provably Protect virtual tour.
