Upgrade Your Google Street View Tour
Bring your space to life with more control, customization, and insight.
Upgrading your Google Street View virtual tour to a hosted virtual tour with a branded overlay significantly enhances engagement, provides deeper analytics, and gives your visitors a richer experience tailored to your brand.
🗺️ What Is a Virtual Tour Map Overlay?
A map overlay is an interactive layer that adds extra functionality to your virtual tour.
It sits on top of your 360° imagery and enhances the experience with intuitive navigation, detailed info, and media pop-ups. Ideal for:
-
Hotels & Resorts
-
Tourism and city entities
-
Shopping Centres
-
Stadiums
-
Museums
-
Any large or multi-zone space
🌟 Why Choose a Hosted Tour with Overlay?
1. Enhanced Branding
Reflect your brand consistently with custom logos, colours, and design elements across the tour.
2. Multimedia Interactivity
Add videos, images, audio, and hotspots that explain, promote, or engage—right inside the tour.
3. Visitor Insights
Track where people go, how long they stay, and what they engage with—perfect for refining sales funnels and content strategy.
4. Smarter Navigation
Use custom menus or clickable floor plans to guide visitors through your space more intuitively.
5. Total Content Control
Update anytime. You’re not limited by Google’s interface or approval process.
