There are lots of features we plan to add and there are still some quirks, but the basic functionality is all here to create great places, and we appreciate feedback.

There are two main sections in RealPlaces, Explore and Create. Explore is where you can visit real places around the world up close and in-person from a first-person point of view. Create is where you can build your own real places to share with others.

After you explore some of the places that others have created, try to create a place of your own - even if it's just one or two spots. As you will see, there is a wide range of style, detail and quality among the existing places. Feel free to experiment, your places are private - visible only to you - until you choose to make them visible to others.

• View: A photo taken from a first-person perspective, which has been assigned its precise physical location and facing-direction.
• Zoomed View: (or just zoom) A close-up photo, or an alternate view. Typically used to show detail not visible in the standard view.
• Spot: An organized set of views facing in multiple directions from a single position.
• Place: A set of one or more spots, logically linked together to facilitate movement. This is what RealPlaces is all about!

• Find Places lets you browse or search for places by location, names or tags.
• Walk Around lets you walk around and see places from ground level.
• See the Exploring page for more info.

• Take pictures
• Upload them
• Sort them by spot
• Locate them on a map and link them together
