Step 1: Open up the TrailBlazer desktop app.
Step 2: Click the Create button to add a new Street View.
Step 3: Select where you captured the footage.
Step 4: Select how you captured the footage.
Step 5: Find the footage you edited in GoPro Fusion Studio and drag it in TrailBlazer to load it for processing.
You will see the area that was captured in the video on a map. Make sure it is correct and click looks good. If it is incorrect, click "wait a minute" and select a different file.
You're almost done. The tour will be processed for publishing. This means it will start extracting the 360 images from the video.
After the video is finished processing and uploading, you will be be presented the option to view the tour you just finished or to create a new tour.
When you click "View my tour" it will take you to the tour. You can also access your tours later by clicking on the "Tours" tab from the menu on the left.
When you click on "View" from a tour in your tours list, it will open your tour. Here you can name your tour and view the track. Keep in mind it can take 48-72 hours for tours to fully publish.
There is also a tab above the track that says 360 tour. If you click this tab it will show you a preview of the Street View tour.
If you click Share, it will copy a link to your tour to your computer clipboard that you can paste and share with people via social, email etc.

I made multiple videos with Fusion and Fusion Studio.
Your app is unable to upload them.
I discussed this extensively with Panoskin via email. I did everything you suggest. Still, Trailblazer did not perform successfully. Not once.
After several months, I'm forced to conclude: Panoskin's app is a failure; Trailblazer does not work.

Hello Anthony,
I love Trailblazer and am on the cusp of a half million photo spheres uploaded with over 300 miles covered.
I have a problem though. For some reason my recent uploads show the date of capture as 12/31/69
Any idea what could be causing that?
Hi Anthony
Followed all as described on this post. But Google processing failed.
What to do?
Hello
Followed all the steps but ( google processing failed and no api )
What to do please ?
Hi, this is indeed a very disturbing problem with Trailblazer currently. The processing locally works, but when the upload is nearly finished there is an error coming, that the Google API would not be respondant. I assume this is not the case, but since the error is there for 2-3 weeks at least my gut feeling is rather there has been an API change from Google or so and the Trailblazer app is not yet updated to cater for it. Can you please look into this? Thank you!
Still the same problem with Google API
Still gave same issue here as well. Panaskin is claiming this is an google issue, see below. But I can not imagine google has been down with this service for so long.

Why is the trailblazer upload to streetview issue still not fixed?
Panoskin in saying it is google's issue, while all other publishing app seem to work fine!
My best guess is that trailblazer has not been updated to support the latest API change:
Google removed a parameter from the API that is used to publish videos to Street View.
Software that calls the API using that parameter will get an error. The change went into effect
10/1/2021. The parameter is used to specify that faces and license plates are to be blurred.
Panoskin, please fix the trailblazer app.
Hello
Same problem
Any advice for another street view publishing app ?
If you have closed support for this application, write here, why torture us and you. : ((. We will look for alternative applications ....
Still dead in the water. This is more than sad. I think this is rendering my GoPro Fusion dead for GSV. I am sure as hell never gonna route any others to Panoskin or GoPro, due to their lack of communication alone.
I bought a GoPro Fusion to create GSV on my jet ski and not put my insta360 pro 2 at risk, Well i guess i will have to do that because your program just doesn't work. I wish i found this earlier and saw the problems others have been having.
If I paid for Panoskin, would that change things?
If Panoskin is not going to update the Trailblazer app, they should at least remove the Trailblazer website and the download link. Or warn users on their website regarding this issue. I have purchased a GoPro Fusion for Google Street View and just got to know this problem today. It sucks a lot.
I wonder if Anthony even reads our comments.
I have emails from panoskin stating they are working on the problem.
@sugarfreeproductions
Thanks for the update.
I really hope they will fix the issue soon. It has been at least 6 months since the problem started, based on the comments above. :(
I'm hoping they get it done soon. I would rather nap on my jetski with my fusion than my insta 360 pro 2
I have the feeling they are just trolling us. And will never update the software ever again.
What a sad way for this to all end. Shame on Panoskin.
didn't user trailblazer since a while ago
yesterday just went to a place i liked and built a path with the fusion.
as with others here it stops at the end of the upload and when i switch to "tours" tab it says "delete and start over".
@Herrpedro
The application has not been working for more than 7 months. This happened when Google changed its API. Support promises to fix the breakdown, but most likely :( it will no longer work. Other providers of similar services did it in a week.
We should keep writing emails to their customer service until they fix the problem or remove the Trailblazer from their website. It's very incompetent of them to promote the tool on their website when it is not working. It has misleaded me and probably some others to get a GoPro Fusion for GSV.
just search for UL2GSV
solved my blueline problem
Capture with a 360 camera & publish to Street View
Has anyone already used it?
https:// streetviewstudio. maps.google.com/
yes, uploaded 2 days ago, and not is fully processed by google. It did say there was an issue with gpx data not matching frames, but still uploaded and properly processed. So no need anymore for trailblazer :-)
Hi, does anyone is having problems to login correctly?
Have the same issue, Google API failed
