Google launched a community site called Views, allowing users to easily share 360-degree panoramic photos to Google Maps, on Tuesday.
The images, which Google calls "photo spheres" are plotted on Maps and geotagged, according to a blog post written by product manager Evan Rapoport. Photo spheres can be created with the camera on an Android phone running version 4.2 (Jelly Bean) or higher.

Here's how users can upload panoramas, as described by Rapoport:
To upload 360? photo spheres, just sign into the Views site with your Google+ profile and click the blue camera button on the top right of the page. This will enable you to import your existing photo spheres from your Google+ photos. You can also upload 360? photo spheres to Views from the Gallery in Android by tapping ?Share? and then selecting Google Maps.
Do you plan to create photo spheres, and participate in Google's new Views community? Tell us in the comments, below.
