    Stupid Google, this was a great camera feature. I use it all the time.

    Don’t forget guys, Google My Maps is kept alive by one single Google employee. When he leaves the company, they’ll kill the feature for sure.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if there was one single engineer that kept Photo Spheres alive.

        I can’t find the name, but he used to reply to people on the support forum. I can’t even find the support forum now… They also killed the Android app in 2021.

          I was ready to ask what the fuck are you on, until I re-read and spotted you talked about “Google my maps” and not “Google Maps”.
