Update G+ to take advantage of Photo sphere

[Mac58]

It seems to be a no brainer that google would update G+ so that the viewing of the photosphere images can take place within the native android app. What are your thoughts?

I would want to see them in maps rather than google+

wouldnt that make sense since the 360 sphere is a location. Hopefully in future they could croud source indoor locations

This does make sense. However, how do you think they would implement this exactly? Like in latitude or location sharing? If so, then thats kind of a spin off of Google + and social networking right?

have you looked at street view in maps? when you search for a location they provide you the street view with compass mode option to view like 360 degree.

Also, these pictures already started showing up in maps which is also tied to G+ account.

Contribute ? Street View ? Google Maps

if this could also be attached to business places like restaurant to see Indore view. that would awesome.

Well I think that sharing these images with F&F would be a two fold win (should they retain PS on G+).

For one thing, I already have a million ideas that I want to share on PS; some I'm really excited about. While it is a great idea to enhance and continue to build Earth with these images (which I agree, they should) it could also potentially draw in users to feature these albums on G+ as well. Plus with the static amount of storage (on the device) you could really benefit from that "online camera roll" with these sure to be mammoth images.

This would be a nice feature addition, but G+ may reduce the size of these pictures and probably the overall effect.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but just my thoughts.

Ooooo Ok lol. Yes I definitely think they will show up there but that only works IMO if people know about it. For example I had my gnex (and been a android user since 2009) but I didn't know I could take photos of places I go and post to Google maps until this year. But yeah if people do post there that would be great! But I think it would hit a larger user base by updating the G+ app rather than maps, but both would be awesome

No, you are correct, but it's a start and its better than nothing. There are certain people I want to take certain images for, and with G+ you couat least specify that *somewhat.
